The Waterfall

I took this waterfall photo when I was hiking to Laguna 69 in the Huascaran National Park.

Huascarán National Park, Parque Nacional Huascarán, is a Peruvian national park that comprises most of the mountain range known as Cordillera Blanca, the world's highest tropical mountain range, which is part of the central Andes, in the region of Ancash. The park covers an area of 340,000 ha (ca. 3.400 km2). It was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1985 by UNESCO, is also a well-known mountaineering spot and harbors a unique biodiversity with plant species such as the Queen of the Andes, trees of the genera Polylepis and Buddleja, and animals such as spectacled bears, condors, vicunas and tarucas.

The park is approximately 150 kilometres (93 mi) long from north to south and averages about 25 kilometres (16 mi) in width. The western slope of the Cordillera Blanca drains to the Pacific Ocean via the Santa River and the eastern slopes drain to the Marañon River, and ultimately to the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean.
