Laguna de Llanganuco – Peru

June 11, 2018.

Here’s some picture of a quick trip to Laguna de Llanganuco.

Nice laguna, but not the best one to visit if you are in the area for a short time.

Full album here.

First we stopped in old Yungay, where a 1970 earthquake completely destroyed the city, well it actually covered it with a huge landslide from the Huascaran  mountain.

The cemetery survived, it was a little further and more elevated than the city resulting in a refuge for less than 100 people.

Then you drive to the laguna, it is located at 3850 meters above sea level:
