From a summit above the Portachuelo de Llanganuco, Cordillera Blanca.
The Llanganuco was the last among my seven successive crossings of the Cordillera Blanca:
1) Cahuish (4450), by bicycle, on asphalt and with summit tunnel;
2) Gara Gara (4830) and Osoruri (4860), by foot;
3) Punta Unión (4760) and Alto de Pucaraju (4640, pano N.26409 ant others), by foot;
4) Paso del Mojón (4320, pano N.26211), by bicycle, mainly on asphalt;
5) Yanashalla (4689, pano N.2944) and Huarapasca (4780), on dirt road
6) Punta Olimpica (4890, pano N.27578), by bicycle, asphalt and summit tunnel, with visit on a stony track to the old pass;
7) Portezuelo de Llanganuco (4787), dirt road, endless but worth the effort.

Tajikistan is simply my default for riddles, as is Vatican for Marzulli...
... spontaneously i thought of the country once feared for its Shining Path. Instead there appears to be a shining new road. If I'm right I may have visited that little mountain lake 25 years ago. But I might be totally wrong .
It is in a terrible state...
Nobody other seems to be interested, but in spite of this I do not think that this summit (5165 m GPS) is such a bad place...
Was the lake that you visited named by a number?
Cheers, Alberto.

The numeric lake is the one behind the flag, Laguna 69, now destination of a very popular tourist package. That is why I was asking about it.
I didn't know of & didn't go to Lake 69 then.
Looking at the road on Google Maps/Street View i realize it's only shining in the bright sun but otherwise isn't in shiny condition.
I am looking forward to a whole great series of serious panos!
After the two ascents I had lost nearly completely my voice due to the amount of dust that I had eaten. I am still waiting to recuperate it fully...
Cheers, Alberto.
Cheers, Hans-Jörg
Cheers Alberto.
