A Nosebleed, Coca Leaves, and a Mountain We're Still Not Sure We Saw • The Alpamayo Circuit (Day 2)
Hit by the breathless reality of high altitude, the sisters chew traditional coca leaves to cope. A surprise nosebleed and thick, rolling rain clouds threaten to steal their first real look at Alpamayo from the mirador, and by the end neither of them is entirely sure which peak they were even looking at. Daily Itinerary: Day 2 of 9: Llamacorral to Taullipampa 🥾 9.6 mi (15.4 km) | +2,808 ft / -1,467 ft ⛺️ Campsite: Taullipampa 🗓️ Recorded: Friday, May 22, 2026 Tent Talk is an immersive backpacking podcast hosted by sisters Audrey (Mountain Goat) and Haley (GPS, One More Mile Marshall, and Dr. Dolittle). Each season follows one epic, multi-day wilderness trek, recorded from their sleeping bags every single night on the trail. Tune in for the real, unedited side of backcountry life, one campsite at a time. Season 1: The Alpamayo Circuit follows the sisters’ grueling, high-altitude journey through Peru’s breathtaking Cordillera Blanca.
