More thoughts about the Cordillera Blanca

Lucy and I leave for Peru on July 4th. After 3-4 different day trips we will head into the Ishinca valley for three days. We will stay at the Refugio - full service as per the Alps - and then run/hike up to the Ishinca glacier, and on our last day hike up to the Urus glacier, before we hike back to the road in Pashpa. The Refugio is at 14,500' and both glaciers are at just under 17,000'.

Jon, Larry Robjent, and I spent a week camping here in 2006, with our arriero and cook, Oscar.
