A pretty unpaved road to Laguna Marcapomacocha
Laguna Marcapomacocha is a high mountain lake at an elevation of 4.470m (14,665ft) above the sea level located in Yauli Province in the Junín Region in Peru.
Set high in the Andes, the road to the lake is totally unpaved. 4x4 vehicle recommended, It’s a cliff road unprotected by guardrails. The climb to the lake is simply terrible, with a notorius lack of oxygen that tests the organisms and a high degree of steepness. Most people feel altitude sickness at around 2,500-2,800 meters.
