14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Valle del Patia - Cauca, Colombia (Patia River Valley, Cauca. Colombia)

After more than four hours of walking, under a hot sun, we achieved to reach the top of one of the mountains from where we could appreciate the splendor of the Patía Valley. I installed my camera on the tripod and prepared to take a series of photographs that allowed me to put together a panoramic photograph that reflected the grandeur of this beautiful place.
