    Laguna 69

    May 5, 2018 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    From the car park to the lagoon is only 8 km but the altitude grows from 3 900 m.a.s.l. to breathtaking 4 600 m.a.s.l.
    The view along the way were absolutely beautiful even though the weather wasn't as good as we would wished for. Thankfully closer we got, more sun made its way on the sky and cleared some go the clouds.
    The last 200 metres was rather difficult as trying to catch a breath was very tricky and I did struggle a bit.
    After 2 and a half hours of walking we have been rewarded by spotting lagoon with the most beautiful turquoise water we have seen.
    As most of the people were behind us, we could take plenty of pictures after which we sat down with eggy sandwiches and chocolate.
    The sight of the mountains with peak over 6 000 m.a.s.l. were really impressive and we couldn't take our eyes of them.
    We have enjoyed good half an hour by the lagoon before it was time to head further.
    Petr came up with a plan for the journey back that would be full of surprises!
