While on a kite trip to Peru, the call of the mountains was too much to ignore, so I made my way to Huaraz and completed the Santa Cruz trek with Huascaran Adventures. The most famous of all the Cordillera Blanca Treks with two high mountain passes and fabulous views of famous peaks Alpamayo, Huascaran, and Artesonraju of Paramount Pictures fame! Lagoons, waterfalls, peaks, and valleys with the high point of 15,420′ (4700m).

Gourmet meals 3 times per day!
Perfect journal moments abounded 🙂
The route continued up valley, but we took the side trip to the beautiful lake and vista of Alpamayo

When in Rome . . . I started this, and then everyone swam!
The meal tent . . . what a luxury!
