5★ Peru, Surasaca 2017-08-08

We had a very interesting day and it was getting late as we headed north into Coordillera Huayhuash - famous for trekking, and infamous for violence done to trekkers. We found this camp within inches of Laguna Sura Saca at 4350m altitude. We enjoyed a visit from the local farmer, his brother and his son - a bright eyes lad of fifteen. The scenery was spectacular and we paddled the length of the lake in the morning, before a second visit from the lad - proudly on his pony. map
