My wife @kristirauckis traveled to the Andes of Peru to trek the Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu and then to trek the lesser known Ausungate Trek around Cusco's sacred Ausungate mountain. In total we hiked about 85 miles through rugged and beautiful mountain terrain that challenged us. Of all the backpacking gear we brought, some was great, some, not so much.
