A mountain ridge in the Andes southeast of Cusco, Vinicunca is distinguished by multicolored mineral strata of red, green, yellow, and purple exposed by glacial retreat and erosion. The classical photography position is reached via a trail ascending from Cusipata Valley to approximately 5,200 meters. Light conditions are strongest in the morning before afternoon cloud development obscures the banding.
