Ah, the glacier lake was so gorgeous. We actually went on a tour to go to this lake since it was out of town, and so we felt rushed at the lake. We were those annoying people that everyone else had to wait for because we went hiking around to see stuff on the other side of the lake. I was embarrassed, but also glad I got to spend more time at the lake.
The second picture is from a town called Yungay that used to be. Unfortunately in 1970 a serious chunk of a mountain fell down due to an strong earthquake and covered the town. It's currently buried 25 feet under the new ground. What you see in the picture is a chunk of the cathedral, must have been tall enough to stick out.
The rest of the pictures are from the Wilcahuain Ruins (Circa 600 AD) and the hike we went on afterwards to find the hot springs. We did find them! And they were awesome and extra rewarding after a 7 Km hike through the mountains. We actually enjoyed that hike more than our long guided tour to the glacier lake.
We have a video too - I will try to post it or maybe not.
That lake picture is so pretty! I'm glad you made everyone wait for you so that you could get it (and enjoy the lake more).
