Hiking in the Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru

in #hive-1949133 years ago

Hi Everyone, I'd thought I'd post a few photos from the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range in Peru.

The View from San Antonio pass. During our hike up to this viewpoint we came across various strange footprints on the trail. I took some pictures and showed the locals in camp later and they told me it was a baby yeti lol. I’m not sure if I believe them🤣

The view from Gran Vista. This viewpoint is at around 5000m of elevation.

Thanks to my friend Rick for finding these beautiful lupines which were a lot better than the scraggly weed I was previously using for a foreground.

These are some amazing shots! Thanks for sharing them here with us.

Thanks for looking:)

Of course!

Peru is truly amazing, and the photos you took prove it.
Have you also visited the seven-coloured mountain?
It's a very popular tourist attraction, especially if you stay for example in Cusco, from there you can take a minibus up to an altitude of 4500m and then walk another 500m until you reach the mountain of seven colours.
Cheers!

My girlfriend and I rented a car to drive up there but I left the car keys in my pants pocket that I'd left in the laundromat haha, Next time

Incredible views, well done!

Thanks!

All of these are stunning Blake!
