It occupies an area of ​​16,000 km², being the largest snow-capped tropical mountain range with 17 peaks that exceed 6,000 m, 1,072 lagoons and 722 glaciers. 3 The Huascarán (6757 m) the highest mountain in the country and in the intertropical zone is located in this mountain range.

Hey Wayne, It was super awesome to run into you yesterday on Sutter St. Sorry I didn't reply yesterday I got caught in absolutely torrential rain coming back to the city last night. I'm sure you can appreciate. What was the podcast you said you were on? I know you're not a stranger to our fair city but if i can offer any local hospitality do let me know!
