Itinerary description
Blue waters of Juchuycocha lagoon
After endless 3 hours of suffering, we finally saw the blue waters of Juchuycocha lagoon – and all suffering was suddenly forgotten. The peaceful surface of the lagoon was changing its color based on from where we looked at it - from turquoise green to royal blue, and around us was nothing but rocks and howling wind. Even the clouds have disappeared and the rain has stopped, so we could have enjoyed our lunch in this breath-taking place – looking at the lagoon at one side and the glacier at another.
