We visited Portillo in the Summer of 2018
I just loved skiing in August, what a mind blowing experience: “I’m Skiing in August!!”
The Andes Mountains are beautiful, the sun is shining and the scenery is beautiful. It’s just an exciting experience!
The slingshot lift was another crazy experience to get you to the steep slopes. Try getting off it without falling into the other person. Funny!
Laguna del Inca
Incan Legend tells that the Inca Illi Yupanqui was in love with Princess Kora-llé, the most beautiful woman in the empire. To celebrate their love, they got married high in the Andes at the peaks above a gorgeous lake.
While performing the ceremony, the princess fell from a cliff to her death. The prince was full of sadness and anguish. He decided the only burial worthy of his beloved was to lay Kora-llé‘s body to rest in the depths of the lake.
They wrapped her body in white linens. As it descended, the water magically turned an emerald blue color, the same color as her eyes. According to Inca mythology, it is said that from that day on, the Lake of the Inca is enchanted. Some say at nights we can hear the soul of Illi Yupanqui crying for his beloved.
