Cordillera Blanca — Churup from Huaraz


From the rooftop patio of our hostel, we could see the Cordillera Blanca in every kind of light. Here, morning rain filters the light around Churup.

I loved Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca. You might have to put up with a few more photos from there.

    I can stand it.

    Love the thick air, and layers of mountains.

    Beautiful. Trying to imagine how high they are.

    My very first thought, though, when I saw the image, was... you just don't get views like this from most resort or 5 star hotels...

    Yes, lots more, please. This is so beautiful it's hard to believe that it's real.

    Zhoen, that aerial (or atmospheric) perspective never fails to affect me. I love it, perhaps partly because it's almost always associated with mountains.

    Miguel, Churup is just under 5500 m; others in the Cordillera Blanca are much higher and include Huascaran, Peru's highest peak (6768 m).
        Five-star resorts tend not to look views that include rain ;^)

    RR, Huaraz has been one of the highlights of this journey, and I can assure you this is real! ;^)

Constructive criticism is welcomed (I particularly appreciate thoughts on what you like and don't like), but please keep it courteous.
