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.

Photography Tips

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.
