During national holidays, Florian and our friend John decided it was a good opportunity to explore the Peruvian countryside. They went to Huancayo, some 6 hours from Lima. To get there you have to cross through the Andes. On their way Florian reached the highest point he ever set foot on, 4818m! Quite something for a Dutch guy. Later on they passed through La Oroya, the most polluted town in Peru, thanks to Dow Chemical. Descending into Huancayo, views over the valley are stunning. Overnight they stayed with a local family that John knew. After saying goodbye to the family's lama the next day, they went on to nearby Lago de Paca. At the shores they enjoyed some freshly caught trout. With only fishbones left, it must have been yummy...
