The sun was trying to blast its way through the clouds and fog, but the clouds and fog won.
Cordilheira dos Andes é uma vasta cadeia montanhosa formada por um sistema contínuo de montanhas ao longo da costa ocidental da América do Sul, sendo a formação geológica desta datada do período Terciário. A cordilheira possui aproximadamente oito mil quilômetros de extensão. É a maior cadeia de montanhas do mundo (em comprimento), e em seus trechos mais largos chega a 160 km do extremo leste ao oeste. Sua altitude média gira em torno de 4000 m e seu ponto culminante é o monte Aconcágua, com 6 962 m de altitude.

In the backround from left to right: Volcán Puntiagudo (2.493 msnm), Volcán Osorno (2.652 msnm) and Cerro Sarnoso (1221 msnm). In the foreground and between de aforementioned peaks stand two unnamed hills.
The Andes have a lot of brown and grey, but also hints of red, blue and green: the whole palette
Vue d’ici, la cordillère des Andes, c’est beaucoup de gris et de brun avec des touches de rouge, de bleu et de vert au gré des lacs et du relief : toute la palette y passe ! Je suis toujours surpris par la variété et l’intensité des couleurs de la Terre depuis la Station spatiale…

This is another re do of pictures that have meaning to me. Hopefully it is an improvement. This was taken on the third morning on our trek to Machu Picchu taken from our campsite at 14,500 ft.. Mt. Palcay is in the distance and tops out at about 19,000 feet. As anybody who knows me, has heard about the debacle in the final days before leaving for Peru, by the touring company. They also know that our hike went through the high desert of the Andes instead of the cloudy, misty hike of jungle like terrain. If ever get a chance to revisit Machu Picchu, I would re do this particular hike in a heart beat. We hiked through the high Andes grazing plains like this for 4 days. In the entire time, besides our group of four and the guide etc., we never saw another soul. And we had views like this to wake up to. So after it is all said and done, we are glad they screwed up.
This is the scene that welcomed me at the Chinchero Plateau. The site of the Andes towering over a Tuscan looking landscape with surreal to me. I knew what to expect when I went to Machu Picchu. I had no idea this site beckoned in Peru.

Sitio arqueológico de Chinchero, Provincia de Urubamba, Departamento del Cuzco, Perú.
En el Conjunto Arqueológico de Chinchero llama la atención inicialmente sus andenes, lo que permite entender que fue un centro de producción agrícola en la época inca, también se construyó un almacén y se doto a todo el complejo de un sistema de regadío muy eficiente.
