Stayed Quechuanndes  
Ate Lunch Pack lunch
  Dinner 390 Station Shawarma
Travel Bus 6 hours (3 each way)
  Walking 13.81 km, 5:44 hours, 801 meters up & down

As prep for our big hike, we did a six hour hike up to over 15k feet at Laguna 69.

It was really lovely, and the mountains in the area where some of the highest in Peru; including:

  • Huascarán at 6,768 meters (22,197 feet) is the highest in Peru
  • Chopicalqui at 6,388 meters (21,017 feet)
  • Huandoy, behind Laguna 69 at 6,395 meters (21,010 feet)

Well, I sure hope the hike helps for our Hauyhaush hike.
