Route The Lost Ucte Lagoon

Our challenge was to conquer the great Ucte lagoon. We began the journey, arriving at the town of Ayas, we embarked on a full trekking climb, walking for over 5 hours in the mountains to reach the ruins of Huacapune. We spent the night there and continued the journey at 5 am, heading towards the Ucte lagoon, walking for over 7 hours at an altitude of 4650 meters above sea level. Thinking we would never make it, our guide told us it was beyond that peak. We motivated ourselves and kept walking towards that peak for almost two hours. When we were close, we could glimpse a magnificent natural spectacle, very still yet resonant with beauty and a color never seen by my eyes, a pure crystal green, transparent like glass. A giant lagoon lay before our eyes, I saw it and cried, it was the great Ucte lagoon. Today I can say it has been conquered. I still remember it in my memories. I will return for you, my beautiful Ucte.
