16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Vinicunca (Rainbow) Mountain

Finally we got to the top at 5200 meters height above sea level. The valley opened up in front of my eyes and hiking for the last 100 meters you are facing the so much desired Rainbow Mountain. Just the day before we had been told it was snowing all the time and nobody could see this so colourful sid of the Vinicunca.
