Peru: Land of the Incas | Galleries
Bless you my children - near entrance to a tunnel
better roads and different mountains on the other side of the tunnel
water fall across the road
switchbacks with a view
pretty lake
now it gets flat
glacial peaks in the distance as we reach the PE3N near Catac
we see this in the rear camera
wow
Huascaran peaks
entering the NP for the fourth time
peaks at the beginning of the Ruta 790
road surface
and they disappear from view
the first Puya Raimondi plant we see
new peaks appear
back in the NP
a small lake after entrance
grown puya and a young one before stalk sprouts
a large group of puyas
closer up
Caullaraju Glacier
close up
dotting the mountainside
weird curves
Doug by the puya for comparison
the stalk
a cluster of them
the bases are this big
here you can see the trunk
Puya ramondi in bloom (off web)
further down the road
petroglyphs
the one on the right
a particularly bright one
Nevado Pastoruri
like we can drive right up to them
fresh snow on the mountains
Tigger in the Cordillera Blanca
the curled peak of Huarapasca
small huts like this dot the landscape
the turn off to Pastoruri Glacier
the whole glacier
what it looked like a few years ago
the view the other way
The Cordillera Blanca, Peru
Tigger in front of Huarapasca Glacier
Banos with a view
Baby Tigger enjoys the view
Huaraspasca from another angle
different landscape again just over the pass
interesting looking
still more glaciers - Cajap
we saw lots of small corals
Eastern side of Raria-Pico
more of Cajap
interesting pillars
across the valley
stream below
other side of Cajap
looks a little swampy down there
there were many small ponds like this
looks like little green islands
high alpine plants
different plant life as you look down the slope
in the distance
sheep grazing
R you looking at me?
seems never ending
strange formations
a rock carin - we must be going the right way
curved mtns
road heading back down
Doug looking for the dinosaur footprints
PE3N again
