About
Pastoruri Glacier is a prominent ice formation located in the Andes mountain range of Peru, within the Huascarán National Park. It sits at an elevation of approximately 5,240 meters (17,192 feet) above sea level and is one of the few glaciers in the tropical region. Despite its beauty and significance, the glacier has been retreating rapidly due to climate change, losing a significant portion of its ice mass over the past few decades. The area around Pastoruri is also known for its unique flora, including the Puya raimondii, the world's largest bromeliad.
