Salkantay Trek 1.3 flora & fauna

Took hundreds of photos, but trying to high grade to emphasize the plants and animals, etc, along the trek…



Andean lupine, similar to Texas’ but more like Alaskan. We learned a few days later that Quechuans train them up and harvest the “frijoles blancas” for food

None of the horses are “wild,” they all come when gathered fire either riders or packing. 

Wide succulent selection at about 12,200’!


These brilliant little guys growing right at ground level, with few leaves exposed to freezing.


Every plant in this photo was edible or medicinal per Julio
