Andean Peaks & Lakes

This collection spans the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash ranges within the Áncash region of the Peruvian Andes. It features Huascarán, Peru's highest peak at 6,768 meters, and the UNESCO-listed Chavín de Huántar, a pre-Inca ceremonial center dating to 1200 BC. The list includes high-altitude glacial lakes like Laguna 69 and the Llanganuco lagoons, alongside the retreating Pastoruri Glacier. These sites are primarily located within Huascarán National Park, a protected area known for its tropical glaciers and Puya raimondii plants.
