Peru Hiking trail to Apacheta Chucura Pass, Ausangate
The ancient Inca trail leads up over the Apacheta Chucura Pass (4,870 m above sea level). On it's way you will pass this insane red mountain area. Still can't believe that these colors are real. Hardly any tourists! Insane landscapes.
Photography Tips
Have your camera ready for a few snapshots like this one, too, instead of just shooting for sunrise and sunset or just at your final destination.
Travel Information
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.
