Tres Lagunas | Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru

Three lakes sunrise in Cordillera Huayhuash in Peru. — Tres Lagunas

Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru

One of the most beautiful scenes in the Andes photographed in one of the most remote places on Earth. This spectacular sunrise was taken at 15,000 ft during a grueling 11 day self-supported backpack in which I carried a 60 pound pack between the high elevations of 13,000 - 17,000 ft. This is an incredibly unique viewpoint with three stunning turquoise lakes in front of some of the grandest peaks in the Andes. Each lake had its own shade of blue/green, which only added to the scene. This trip was one of the most strenuous of my life as it was exhausting climbing 16,000’ mountains relentlessly with the brutal pack weight. *It wasn’t easy fitting 11 days of food in one pack; I ended up losing nearly 10 pounds during the endeavor...*

I was relieved to finally get some clear weather as it rained nonstop for the first week of the trek. This sunrise was actually the first time I used my camera on the trip even though I had been in Peru for nearly two weeks! This area was made famous by the book and film **'Touching the Void'**, one of the most incredible mountaineering stories of all time. Joe Simpson and Simon Yates climbed Siula Grande (20,845’) - in the upper left. Joe broke his leg on the climb and the rest is history. Knowing that this historic story took place in such a remote area makes the image all the more special.
