One the most miserable nights in my life is standing behind the lens of this beautiful photo. Taken on Day 4 of my 7 day solo #adventure in Cordillera Blanca. After the 2nd night on the trek, I started to feel sick. Instead of turning back and returning to the civilisation with relatively easy downhill hike, I decided to continue over multiple 4800+ passes cutting my way back, and my health got worse, which I should have expected at high altitudes. Nevertheless, the beauty of this place, kept me going, supplying with very-needed serotonin boosts. The Alpamayo circuit is very beautiful, remote, and wild trekking I would recommend to everyone. It can be done solo, or in organised tours from local trekking agencies for a less miserable experience :)
