Hiking the Andes

My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Peru | Thursday, November 3, 2011 | 5 photos

Being from Arequipa, Peru I worked as a tour guide Taken tour groups to the Andes. Those photos were taken within 4 days when guiding a group to climb the Chachani and Pichupichu volcanoes ( 6,800m.).With these pictures I'm trying to show these views of an almost alien planet, the Andean wild life (alpacas), the locals (Quechuas) and the endless possibilities of outdoors adventures.
Having had a passion for photography since school days, I try to further develop my skills through working as a lab tech in Disney world and having had a couple of my pictures published in Tablista surf magazine and hotel brochures.
Now I live in Sydney Australia working as a warehouse manager, taking every opportunity to get out to take pictures of the surf,nature or wildlife.
