Volodymyr Oleksyshyn, a Ukrainian-American resident of Chicago, had travelled to Chachapoyas with PeruNorth in November 2022.

He got back in touch in early 2025 wishing to visit some of the places he had missed or hadn’t had time for in 2022; and wanting to hike the trail to Choquequirao, while his knees were still up to it!

These are his comments having done the trip in September / October 2025
