​IMG Lead Guide Betsy Dain​-Owen checked in from Huaraz yesterday to confirm all trekkers completed the trek and successfully reached their hotel. They relaxed for a bit, then headed to dinner to celebrate their success!
The team’s trek from Jahuacocha (13,284′) to Llamac (10,660′) followed by an up-and-down route over yet a couple more high altitude passes. They’re a hearty team who’ve tackled each of the daily challenges well; crossing passes nearly always involved some upward travel to a pass–enjoying the views, and then a descent on the other side. Nice work, team, for taking the many challenges in great style!
The team is currently in transit homeward, and will arrive home later today. We’ll wrap up the trek blog posts tomorrow…with a few more spectacular pics from the trek.
Congratulations to the team on a job well done!
