This past Saturday and Sunday, October 2 and 3, Paddington traveled with 17 other friends to the lagoon at the top of Pitusiray Mountain. The lagoon is famous for shadows of a Puma and an Incan Warrior which appear over top of it during this particular week, but due to some unusual conditions, it was impossible to view these shadows.
A view of the Sacred Valley taken only a few hundred meters from the lake.
Finally at the lagoon! Paddington is exhausted after 7 hours of hiking. The elevation of 4,200 meters certainly doesn't help him catch his breath. Before....
....and after the snow storm. While camping overnight at the lake, a rare winter storm came through and dropped a few centimeters of snow on the ground, making for a wet and uncomfortable camping experience. Nonetheless, the view and beauty of Pitusiray certainly made up for one night of lost sleep.
This is crazy!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a GREAT before and after duo!! Loved the pictures--the little lake is gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteOkay, the little lagoon (is that the same as lake in Peru?). Paddington (and Brett, who carried him most of the way, I bet) must have been exhausted!
