Montañas de los Andes
View allAll Photos Tagged andes
Estamos frente al canal de Beagle, en Tierra del fuego donde amaneció un día con bastante niebla…El clima en los Andes Fueguinos generalmente es frío, debido a que es una de las zonas más australes del mundo, la temperatura anual promedio varía entre los 2 y los 10 °C. Ocupan la porción montañosa del sur del archipiélago de Tierra del Fuego, llegando a altitudes superiores a los 2000 m.Las mayores alturas se registran en la Cordillera Darwin, en el sector sudoccidental de la isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, cuya máxima cumbre es el monte Shipton, de una altitud de 2469 metros sobre el nivel del mar y ubicado en territorio chileno.
Bolivia is one of the most beautiful countries in South America due to the concentration of stunning landscapes, worthy of countless "WOWs", to any visitor.
Today's conversation is destined for one of the most beautiful regions we have ever visited in the world: the southwest of Bolivia, a place that activates your imagination to the extreme making you think you are on another planet.
At 3,600 meters above sea level, there is the incredible Salar de Uyuni and the Bolivian Altiplano (where we are in this picture), with its colorful lagoons, thermal pools, volcanoes and private vegetation, all extremely photogenic and capable of making any trip there unforgettable.

A young male in transitional plumage to adult. Young males acquiring adult plumage are patched with red and yellow.
The only completely red bird in North America, the strawberry-colored male Summer Tanager is an eye-catching sight against the green leaves of the forest canopy. The mustard-yellow female is harder to spot, though both sexes have a very distinctive chuckling call note. Fairly common during the summer, these birds migrate as far as the middle of South America each winter.

♂️ Piranga flava, now Piranga lutea
(Tooth-billed Tanager / Cardenal Montañero)
Hepatic Tanager is the most widely distributed Piranga tanager, ranging from the southwest United States south to northern Argentina. Its English name is based on the liver-red color of the adult male from the northern part of the species' range; however, its scientific name, flava, meaning "yellow," derives from the original description, which is based on a female from Paraguay. These names reflect both a characteristic of the genus Piranga, marked sexual dichromatism, and the broad range of coloration, habitat, and behavior encompassed within the Hepatic Tanager as currently recognized.
Even though the Hepatic Tanager is currently considered one species, much evidence, including a recent study of molecular genetics, indicates that up to 3 species could be recognized, corresponding to the 3 groups of subspecies combined long ago. These groups and their respective species names are the Hepatic Tanager (P. hepatica) of montane pine-oak forests from the southwestern United States to Nicaragua, the Tooth-billed Tanager (P. lutea) of forest edges in foothills and mountains from Costa Rica to northern and western South America, and the Red Tanager (P. flava) of open woodlands of eastern and southeastern South America.

this is just one of the incredibly beautiful mountainscapes I had the chance to see after coming back from a hike in the Andes, right at the Argentina-Chile border. The car was moving but the landscape was unique, so I did my best to get it right. no time for tripods nor for second chances, think fast and shoot fast. special thanks to the bus driver whom kindly slowed down a bit to help me out.

El Nevado Condoriri es una montaña en la Cordillera Real de Bolivia de unos 5.648 metros de altitud. Es también el nombre de todo el macizo. Condoriri está situado en el Departamento de La Paz, Provincia de Los Andes, municipio de Pucarani, al sudeste del Chachacomani y noroeste del Huayna Potosí.
La parte central del grupo Condoriri está formada por tres picos que se parecen a un cóndor con las alas extendidas:
el Condoriri en sí, también llamado Cabeza de(l) Cóndor (5.648 m),
Ala Izquierda, Ala Norte (5.532 m), el pico oeste del Condoriri y
Ala Derecha o Ala Sur (5.482 m).

The Patagonian Andes guard the entrance to the Southern Ice Field as the Perito Moreno Glacier slowly makes its way down to the lower ground of Argentino Lake. At its end the Perito Moreno Glacier has an average thickness of 170m (558ft) with 74m (240ft) visible above the water line above the lake. With over 250 km2 (97 sq mi) of ice the glacier spans 30 km (19 mi) in length and a width of 5km at its terminus. Since 1968 rupturing ice has taken the lives of 32 people who were hit by flying ice. One of 48 glaciers that form part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the high altitude field has a total area of 12,363 km2 (4,773 sq mi) of ice.

At times, we thought we were in a real rally: our 4X4 drivers gave the impression to race, the odometer exceeded the 90 km/h (56 mph) on the track, all in the middle of clouds of dust.
I was never afraid, however, because they drove very well, and the 4x4 were so well suspended that we were practically not shaken.
Here, our driver had started with a bang and got a little ahead. Then, he had the good idea to stop us at the top of a hill, the time to make us admire 2 other cars of our expedition that were rushing behind us to catch up with us.

Le rallye
Par moment, on se serait cru dans un vrai rallye : nos chauffeurs de 4X4 donnaient l'impression de se faire la course, le compteur kilométrique dépassait allègrement les 90 km/h sur la piste, tout cela au milieu de nuages de poussière.
Je n'ai cependant jamais eu peur, car ils conduisaient très bien , et les 4x4 étaient tellement bien suspendus qu'on n'était pratiquement pas secoués.
Ici, notre chauffeur avait démarré en fanfare et pris un peu d'avance. Puis , il avait eu la bonne idée de nous arrêter en haut d'une côte, le temps de nous faire admirer 2 autres bolides de notre expédition qui fonçaient derrière nous pour nous rattraper.

"Nunca, en ninguna parte, he experimentado la paz y la alegría y la fuerza y la resistencia que sentí en aquellas excursiones, y si alguna vez estuve muy cansado, con frío y con hambre, perdido en la nieve y la oscuridad, temeroso ya de la muerte, eso no hizo más que acrecentar mi pasión por la soledad y el aire y el agua y el silencio de nuestras queridas montañas"

The Quindio River (río Quindío), seen in the foreground, rises in the central Andes and flows through Valle de Cocora, where we see some beautiful landscapes. Valle de Cocora is a prime location for the Quindio Wax Palm, the world's tallest palm species.

This is possibly my favourite photo from my recent (and last-minute) trip to Ecuador for the Ministry of Tourism as part of their Feel Again Project. This particular shot was taken at the amazing Hacienda Zuleta in the Andes.
Sorry I haven't been as active on Flickr as usual; I didn't have much internet access over the last month or two.

Cordillera Real
Bolivia
El Nevado Illampu constituye uno de los macizos más representativos de la Cordillera Real; es de forma piramidal y cuenta con cuatro picos: Illampu I a una altura de 6368 m.s.n.m., Illampu II a 6344 m.s.n.m, IIlampu III Pico Norte a 6060 m.s.n.m. y Pico Schulze a 5943 m.s.n.m. Se encuentra en la población de Sorata que se caracteriza por tener un clima frío, el paisaje está constituido por nevados eternos en sus cumbres. Según la cosmovisión de los pueblos originarios andinos el Nevado IlIampu, es uno de los dioses mayores, llamado “Kun Tixi Wiracocha”, o el “Hacedor de las aguas”, el constructor del mundo y protector de la vida, es decir el Olimpo Andino.
Aqui se lo ve detras del lago Titicaca.
Royal Range
Bolivia
Illampu is the fourth highest mountain in Bolivia. It is located in the northern section of the Cordillera Real, part of the Andes, east of Lake Titicaca. It lies just north of the slightly higher Janq'u Uma, near the town of Sorata. Laguna Glaciar, located in the Illampu-Janq'u Uma massif, is the 17th highest lake in the world.
Despite being lower than Janq'u Uma, Illampu has a steeper peak, with more local relief, and is a somewhat harder climb. In fact it has the hardest normal route on any of the 6,000 metre peaks in Bolivia.
