Huascaran National Park

Today is a short leg to get us as close as we can to the final climb to puntas Olympica - so as to give us the best chance of making it over tomorrow. We enter the national park with towering peaks and high glaciers around. Arriving at the planned camp spot just before lunch and get the tent up in time to avoid the hail and then the rain. We are both demolished!

Unexpected magic. When Alain turns his torch off in the tent, we are surrounded by twinkling lights. Many are in between the inner and outer of the tent. And outside, the delicate light dance of fire flies across the river plain.Weiterlesen
