20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Huayhuash Mountain range

One of the most beautiful treks in the world seen from the distance, it may appear small but this gigantic mountain range holds Peruvians 2nd highest mountain, the Yerupaja. With the last rays of sunlight hitting the upper part of the mountain range, we can appreciate the atmospheric phenomenon of the Venus belt, a pink band stretched across the horizon above the mountains.
