One of the most incredible hikes we did in South America was the Llanganuco to Santa Cruz trek out of Huaraz, Peru. A four day journey through the Cordillera Blanca, we ended up with a great group of people and some incredible scenery. At the very beginning of the trek we passed the Lagunas de Llanganuco, stunning turquoise lakes fed by glacial run off. At nearly 4000m in altitude, we were astonished at how clear the sky was and the milky turquoise color of the water. Although we saw them on the way to our trek, they can easily be visited on a day trip from Huaraz.

Really like the photo wish it was one from higher up looking down to get a better perspective of how things looked from above.
