Other Points: Obviously Laguna Paron appealed to us a great deal. For more extensive photographic coverage of the peaks in this area, see The Sixthousanders of the Cordillera Blanca / Peru by Gerhard Feichtenschlager. The text says that since 1984 he’s spent some months of each year in the Cordillera Blanca — and that was fifteen years as of the time he was preparing the book. Lucky sonofabitch! Nice photography. Somewhere I read that this area has the highest concentraton of 6,000+ meter peaks in Peru, or perhaps in South America, or perhaps in the world. Too, it’s the highest mountain range in the world. [Only the Himalayas are higher.]
