Confluence of Río Santa Teresa (view upstream) and Quebrada Totorayoc (bottom of the scene). The traces of the glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) process chain of 2020, which scoured the vegetation and soil, are clearly visible. Roads, bridges, trails, and power lines were destroyed or badly damaged and had to be rebuilt.
