Huascaran National Park and Laguna 69







On August 31 and September 1, we camped at Huascaran National Park at 12,000 ft. From here, we hiked not once but twice to Laguna 69, a glacial lake at 15,100 ft. Laguna 69 is the highest elevation either of us have hiked to thus far! The lake was an amazing blue color (even without the help of the sun) and a "breath" taking reward to the strenuous hike. On the way back down to Huaraz, we stopped by Lagunas de Llanganuco.
