Lakes, the prettiest lakes ever

On my last day in the Huaraz region, I went on one more day hike to a high-altitude lake. I was relieved to discover that the trail was much easier than the last one, and that I was able to get to the lake with a bit of energy to spare. It probably helped that I had actually had a real breakfast this time, and had also brought enough water with me. What a concept!

Not too much to say about this trip, I just wanted to post some photos. On the road up to the trail we passed the two lakes known as Llanganuco, and they were the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen. The sun was out and they shone turquoise. The object of the hike, Lake 69 (I don't know the origin of the name) was also stunning, with enormous glaciers hanging above. I could actually hear one of the glaciers cracking at one point. That was cool and a little scary.
