June 2001 

Trek Day 8 (continued) -- Portalchuelo de Huayhuash and Lago Viconga:  

 

 

Lago Viconga -- there is a herd of Alpacas on the hillside (white dots in lower left corner).

 


 

 

Having made the "U-turn", we now look up towards the Cuyoc Pass.  The Puscanturpa massif is at the head of the high valley

 


 

 

Melkie approaches camp with the burros, plus a new guest -- a sheep named Dolly (we would later eat Molly for dinner in a peruvian Pacha Manca barbeque).

 


 

 

Looking back from our camp below Cuyoc towards the Cordillera Raura.  We initially descended the valley on the other side of the dark ridge at left, then made a U-turn at the end of the ridge and climbed up this valley.
