Walking the Entire Andes
Travel Stories » Peru Posted April 28, 2008 by Deia Schlosberg. We have, in fact, finished the project of walking the Andes. One of the realizations I had at the end, sitting on the cliff edge overlooking the South Sea, when that cathartic release never quite came, was that this whole long ordeal epitomized the idea of the journey being the means as well as the end.
The Chile Sampler
Travel Stories Posted March 21, 2007 by Deia Schlosberg. Almost every human interaction we have had in the past month, outside of the towns, has been with either vineyard workers or miners. These are the two obviously largest industries in Chile, as every valley has evidence of one of the two. The latest: we’ve been walking lots and lots of miles”our most to date, averaging between 15 and 20 a day, with many days taking us well into the 20s.
Sweet Bolivia - Road Junky Guides
Travel Stories Posted June 3, 2007 by Deia Schlosberg. As his cows swam across a channel next to us, illustrating his point, we turned around, defeated, and bracing ourselves for a cold and muddy return through what we had just made it through, this time, without the sun. It was soon into this next portion that I was half-swallowed by lake muck and opaque water. Villazon, Tupisa, Atocha, Cerdas, Tomave, Rio Mulato, Sevaruyo, Huari, Poopo, Oruro. These are the dots on our line through Bolivia so far.
Still walking. - Road Junky Guides
Travel Stories Posted January 20, 2008 by Deia Schlosberg. Gregg and I did one pretty uneventful section around the entire Bariloche area before David, Gregg’s brother, arrived in Puerto Montt. Uneventful in that nothing ridiculous happened; we hiked on some trail and some dirt track, through some woods and some desert-like areas. We met and met up with, respectively, some lovely local folks as well as some old friends (the Canadians, Sam and Dave, on their own epic tour).
Blanca Bliss - Road Junky Guides
Travel Stories Posted November 25, 2006 by Deia Schlosberg. Somewhere along the way, below Lake Pelegatos, I was attacked by a dog, apparently freaked out by two huge gringos with packs, which it had never seen. Good section. We began on November 3rd (those of you with photos for me, don’t worry about sending them quickly, but I still want them when you get a chance) hiking an Incan Road out of Leimebamba.
Into the Selva - Road Junky Guides
Travel Stories Posted August 7, 2006 by Deia Schlosberg. Since our last installment, we experienced what seemed like the deepest depths of the Amazon rainforest, when in reality, we were only on the very outskirts of it.

So Much Water - Road Junky Guides
Travel Stories Posted October 29, 2007 by Deia Schlosberg. So much water. Some of it frozen clear and solid, some of it rushing quickly over rocks in a frenzied effort to get down as fast as gravitationally possible, some sitting, collecting in dammed lake beds, some crystallized and white and resisting with a vengeance the intensifying spring sun, but ever-present every day in our lives for the past section.
Mummies and Monkeys
Travel Stories Posted October 15, 2006 by Deia Schlosberg. Our last few weeks in Peru have been amazingly dense with rich experience – cultural, natural and historical. Our last few weeks in Peru have been amazingly dense with rich experience – cultural, natural and historical. We began in Cohechan, a small town to the northwest of Chachapoyas, where we went in search of our first Pre-Incan archaeological site: Karajia.
It's Outrageous That I'm Facing 45 Years in Prison for Filming a Climate Protest
My name is Deia Schlosberg and I am an independent filmmaker and climate reporter. I was arrested while filming an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in North Dakota and I'm currently facing felony charges that I believe are unjust. I am a climate reporter; my specialty is following the story of how humankind is creating a grave problem for civilization by continuing to flood the atmosphere with greenhouse gases through the burning of fossil fuels and other industrial processes.
¿Qué tal el queso?
Travel Stories Posted July 21, 2007 by Deia Schlosberg. “So, how do you like cheese?” Pause. “You like cheese?” “Uh, yeah. Yeah, we like cheese.” “Alright then, I’ll come back in the morning with some cheese for you guys.” We threw camp together one evening as a storm rolled closer. It turned out to be all talk, and so the sky cleared enough to watch the full moon rise on our right, while moments before, the sunset had exploded in a firey horizon on our left.
Turnin' the Compass Around
Travel Stories Posted January 21, 2007 by Deia Schlosberg. This was not a normal section. Annoyingly enough, we didn’t get that much hiking in. We spent a lovely Christmas in Huaraz with our (by now) good friends there. Christmas day night, we took a bus back to where we left off with our hike, in La Union. From here we headed out to Huánuco Viejo, which, according to the guidebooks, is the most significant Incan site outside of the department of Cuzco. I’m not sure what that means, really.
Last notes from Ecuador
Travel Stories Posted September 8, 2006 by Deia Schlosberg. Thru-hiking the Andes is absurd. Whose idea was this? Bushwhacking through ravines of prickers and razor sharp reeds, hurdling barbed wire every 70 meters on 50 degree slopes, way-finding with soggy topo map and compass on a ridge top in borderline hurricane winds and complete white-out conditions, agave in all its pointy glory in exactly the wrong places every time … but will we keep going? Of course. Thru-hiking the Andes is absurd.
