It fell all night, but surprisingly snow was only to be found in and around our little camp area - strange!

Today we also encountered our first grove of Quenua trees (Polyepis sp.).
Found up to 4600m altitude, are claimed to be the highest naturally ocurring tree in the world. In the Huayhuash, there has been significant clearing to make way for pasture.
