Mt. Veronica

Mt. Veronica, at 5680m / 18,635ft, is the highest peak in the Cordillera Urubamba range close to Cusco. Its Quechua name, Wakay Willca, means “Sacred Tears”. Although not the highest range in Peru it still offers impressive scenery and many traditional Quechua speaking villages. This view was taken from the Chinchero plateau on the other side of the Urubamba River, heavily farmed and offering a wonderful array of patchwork quilt fields whose colours vary with the seasons.
