Laguna Cullicocha

Day 3

Day 4

I left my tent in the valley and went up with just food and camera

Finally Alpamayo appeared, but not as close as I imagined

I arrived back in the campsite at night and people wanted to look for me thinking I was lost

Day 5. Long ascent to Cara Cara Pass, the most scenic of the whole trek

Arriero takes care of equipment for an organized group

Waiting for sunset on Pucajirca

At lower altitude appear eucalyptus trees, brought to South America from Australia

Kids didn't speak much Spanish

Walking her pet

My bus broke down on the way back to Huaraz

Lower parts of the Andes

Election slogans are painted on many houses

Climbing Pisco 5752m

Getting closer and closer to the summit

Finally I stand on top after 12 hours of walking

Huascaran, the highest mountain in Peru

Views from Pisco

Walking back from Pisco

Going up and down took 20 hours, and I missed the only bus to Huaraz
