Like a beautiful woman, the Cordillera Blanca gives up its secrets to whoever truly dares to explore them. One of the best ways is to head to Santa Cruz, Llanganuco, in the heart of the Andes.
From there, it is all about walking, exploring, admiring and filling up your camera’s memory in an effort to capture so much beauty: lakes, peaks, gorges, streams, flora and fauna… and a sky that will leave you speechless.
