La Laguna de los Condores


This is an image of the lake that I tried to find Indiana Jones-style on a three day hike. The muddy trail just kind of peters out as you get close. I climbed a couple of nearby hills to see if I could spot it, but I couldn´t. Oh well, wasn´t meant to be.

There is a Pre-Incan mausoleum site here, built into the side of the cliff over the lake. They found a lot of mummies there about 10 years ago and it was a big deal. Here's an abstract that had me excited about it: http://www.archaeology.org/9803/abstracts/andes.html
