Photo by @CarltonWard // A Peruvian horseman faces the rising sun at the base of Mount Shubet in the Chachapoyos region of Peru. I was part of a weeklong horseback expedition through cloud forest exploring scenic and archaeological sites. The nearly 13,000-ft plateau of Shubet was thought to be a ceremonial site to the pre-Incan Chachapoyos culture. #peru #heritage
