Subjects : The colorful mountains of Peru, the second national tourist attraction after MachuPichu. Discovered for about 5 years thanks (unfortunately) to the thaw of the glacier caused by global warming. The main attraction is of course the mountains that, according to the light, are tinged with spectacular rainbow colors. Some species of birds of prey can also be found during ascent.

Recommended equipment : Wide-angle tip and light equipment. The parking is at about 4600mt and you get to 5100mt, the difference in altitude is not much but the oxygen is scarce and you struggle a lot. You can buy them before the departure (at the parking lot) of the small oxygen cylinders that help). For birds of prey you need a superzoom... but the weight is felt... and so much!

Best months : The best season is our summer, so the Peruvian winter... to avoid the heavy rains of the summer season. Many people go up very early in the morning and a very long queue forms... I recommend starting from Cusco at 07.30, you arrive at the parking lot at about 10.00, and while the others go down you start to climb... to enjoy the summit almost alone. In addition, the mountains around 12.30pm take on the best color.

How to get there : From Cusco, paved road in the direction of Puno, then you take a long and winding (they are doing it again now... in 2019) dirt road. From Cusco it takes almost two hours of travel.

Visits : Paid visit, about 3 euros each, in 2019. The situation could change rapidly in the coming years given the huge consensus of tourists and the spectacularness of the place.
