I recently had my 3rd birthday
in Peru. When I arrived to Peru I was just a little baby of 21 years old and I
just turned 24. To celebrate another year of life, my boyfriend and I met up in
Huaraz for a weekend of adventures. We went overnight hiking and camped at a
beautiful green lagoon at the base of a snow capped mountain. The lake was
called “Shayap” and it was about an hour outside of Huaraz. My boyfriend is a
surfer from the big city of Lima so this was his first overnight hike in the
mountains and his first time camping in such cold weather. He was a trooper and
started the hike just after getting off an overnight bus arriving from Lima. It
was a long trek getting to the lagoon but we made it and I got to wake up on my
birthday with the love of my life in the most beautiful mountain scenery
possible. I felt so thankful and happy to be celebrating another year of life
that way.
