El cocuy trek day 2: Laguna grande

First real hike of the trek, going to the laguna grande de la sierra (4600m) and then to the border of the glacier concave (4700m). 22km trip with 1100m of elevation gain that started at 5am.

It started well with cloudy weather and some small rain but it was still okay. But then at around 11am, while at around 4/5 of the way to the lac it started to rain and it would not stop until the end of the day. Couldn't get a clear view on the lac and the mountains and ended totally wet and frozen, honestly at this point I was considering canceling the last day as it was obvious some of my clothes which I didn't had changes for would not dry in time.Read more
