Hi !
So we made it to our first stop of our six months trip: Huaraz, Peru, the trekker heaven. Which means we sort of don’t really fit into the local scene of experienced trekkers and hikers, all looking so cool.
The journey from Lima to Huaraz was a 8 hours bus ride, changing from the foggy grey winter weather of Lima to beautiful crystal clear blue sky of the mountains. We drove up to 4000 meters to then finish at Huaraz, sitting at 3050 meters. And the first thing noticeable when arriving there is the breathtaking (or it may be the altitude) mountains for the Cordillera Blanca. Unfortunately we arrived too late for the shot at the golden hour, but we should have a few other opportunities over the next days.
The next morning, while walking the streets searching for the breakfast place, I couldn’t resist to shot the street of Huaraz with the stunning background.
We are now acclimating and getting used to high altitude. The first couple of days are all about sorting a few details (like the first hike and treks) before going into the wild.
Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !
