The shades of turquoise that can be seen in the lagoons at the high altitudes of Huascaran park more closely resembles an IG photo saturation effect gone wrong than actual reality. The 6hr round trip hike to 69 is challenging, but the payoff makes you forget the lung burning ascent. Get there early to beat the crowds! Leave Huaraz at 5am to start the hike by 8am. #hiking #huaraz #laguna69 #huascaran
