Laguna 513, Huaraz

Thanks to Lisa and Tobi, the two Germans we met on our acclimatisation hike, we decided to skip the very famous (and therefore very crowded) dayhike to the Laguna 69 and go to the very not famous Laguna 513 instead - as you may suspect from these two very creative names there are a lot of lagunas in the Huaraz area (or within the Huascaran park, respectively), so chapeau to Lisa for finding the Laguna 513!
The 13.7 km hike to an altitude of 4460 m (yes, we made sure to go higher with every hike) was one of the most beautiful treks we‘ve done so far (despite the rather steep ascend) as it was very versatile in views and landscape. And - in comparison to the famous laguna 69 - we‘ve got to spend the whole day in best company of our new german friends and almost noone else ❤️ Highly highly highly recommended!Read more
