Awesome Cordillera Blanca trek

We got back from our 10 day trek in the mountains. So many impressions, so much to say about this time. Alas, for now here are some pics to peak your interest. Must pack up tonight as we are taking the bus tomorrow morning (eight hours) to head back to Lima for one night before flying to La Paz to meet up with Esther and Miguel! I cannot believe that we will get to hang out together where the lovely Esther grew up. Pretty special.
First campsite (Huishcash) at
4,320 metres. Slept well in the grandeur
of the mountains after a 1,200 metre
ascent.
One of the many glacial waterfalls we
would see over our 160 k trek. Each one
was spectacular.

Lagunas in a variety of awesome
colours dotted the landscape and
provided many moments of
quiet contemplation.

    160K! That's a lot of trekking.
    Looking forward to the donkey pics :)
