Thanks. Most is hidden, but the summit looks interesting and a little menacing.

It is beautiful. I like the contrast of desert like terrain near the railway and the snow covered peak that seems to be so close.

It looks like an alien mountain on a distant world.

The mountain looked like it was from another world compared to the landscapes around the railway.

If I remember, you hiked to Machu Picchu and probably had good views of Mount Chicon.

Yes I did hike to Machu Picchu, but when I arrived up there ( after 5 days of trekking, I did the Salkantay) I was soooooo exhausted when I arrived up to Machu Picchu, that I did not get much out of it. Next time I will take the bus up. So unfortunately I did not see the Mount Chicon. And please do not ask what did you see😅😂😊

Very vivid contrasts in this photo. Even though the mountain is miles away, it looks like the snow could almost come down on your head.
