Peru Ponds with view to south side Ausangate

The ancient Inca trail leads up over the Apacheta Chucura Pass (4,870 m above sea level) and then down to this small ponds. They are just there during the "in between seasons". In other seasons, these Ponds might be empty due to the dry season! In summer at these heights is extreme precaution due to heavy rain and snowfall. Great views of the south face of Ausangate.

Wait for the sunset and use a wide angle to capture a large part of the mountain range. Use a tripod if necessary depending on the light sensitivity of the camera.

Difficult to get. You need a local, cause there are no parking slots. Near to the roads are living some farmers, where you maybe can park, if the local knows the family or can speak their language for asking them kindly. The hike is challenging with many kilometers. You need to have good conditions, enough water and be fit in high altitude.
