Laguna Churup, Peru

Nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, Laguna Churup mirrors the jagged, glacier-clad summits above, creating a scene of breathtaking symmetry. In the foreground, a carpet of golden wildflowers bursts through the mossy earth, adding warmth and life to the cool, crystalline atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow across the water’s surface enhances the depth and drama of the scene, while the clouds above hint at the ever-changing weather of this remote highland sanctuary. This image captures not just a landscape, but a moment of delicate balance between enduring stone and fleeting bloom.
