Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

The ancient Inca trail leads up over the Apacheta Chucura Pass (4,870 m above sea level) and then down to the lakes around Jatun Pucacocha. Great views of the south face of Ausangate and the lakes of different colors below. Hardly any tourists! Insane landscapes.

Photography Tips

Drone provides a good larger overview of the lakes and Ausangate. Watch out for the wind! Drone is only possible with a permit, which can be purchased through companys or park rangers on site. Only possible with verifiable drone license that you need to have with you!

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.
