Lake Day

For our final day in Cusco , some of the Peru Crew opted to visit Humantay Lake. Flags came out for our final day in the Cusco region and lots of pictures by the lake

Nestled at the base of Mt Humantay in the Vilacamba range of the Andes, Humantay lake is a stunning mountain lake , sitting at approximately 14k feet.

A challenging but beautiful uphill hike or ride leads to a beautiful turquoise lake. Rhona was especially chuffed to reach the summit, having looked forward to visiting Humantay lake since being selected for Peru.

Flags came out for our final day in the Cusco region and lots of pictures by the lake

No Probllama!

As you may have guessed, we have loved seeing Alpacas, Vicuna, Llamas and Huanco throughout our trip.

Peru is home to various camelid species. We enjoyed learning about them and meeting them on a visit to Manos de la Comunidad, a living museum close to Cusco.

Per Crew Rainbows , Assemble!

A number of our group opted to visit Vinicunca, known more widely as Rainbow Mountain! They were treated to amazing views of the mountain of seven colours.

Just like Palccoyo, the mountains colours come from the mineral deposits. Up until a few years ago the mountain was covered by a glacier, concealing the rainbow underneath .

Rainbows at Palccoyo

Some of the Peru Crew opted to visit Palcoyyo.
Palcoyyo is renowned as a hidden gem .

The valley has not one, but three rainbow mountains and offers beautiful views of the Red Valley and beyond

We learned how the colours and how they are formed from the deposition of various minerals. The geologists and scientists in our group were certainly in their element.

With the skilful help from our guide,the whole group were able to make the .most of our trip to Palccoyo, proving as always that
