Hiking 80 Miles on the Cordillera Huayhuash

Cordillera Huayhuash. It's a trek that we've been dying to show you for a while. We've been waiting for the right video that would do it justice.​

And here it is - Kraig Adams and his friends head to Peru to hike 80 miles on the Cordillera Huayhuash.

​It's our team's absolute favorite hike it the world. The views of massive snow capped peaks and the electric blue lagunas are insane 🤯

​Plus, the killer climbs at high altitude and the length of this trip mean the trails are a lot less crowded than the other famous hikes in Peru.

Hunter or Prey

Ok, ok...this is technically a diving video but it's so poetic and beautiful that we changed the category to art.

It was filmed during 4 days on the ocean of Faial in The Azores, Portugal. The crew from Behind the Mask followed expert freediver Fred Buyle while he got up close with Blue Sharks, Mobula Rays and Hammerhead Sharks in the open ocean.

This homage to freediving is worth casting to the big screen.
