The Cordillera Blanca (Spanish for "White Range") is a mountain range in the Ancash Region of Peru. It is part of the larger Andes range and includes 50 peaks over 5,500 metres (18,040 ft) tall in an area 21 kilometres (13 mi) wide and 180 kilometres (112 mi) long.
The highest mountain in Peru, Huascarán (6,768 m), is located here. Huascarán National Park, established in 1975, encompasses almost the entire range of the Cordillera Blanca.
In 1966, the Alpamayo mountain was declared "the most beautiful mountain in the world" by the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Snow melt from the Cordillera Blanca has provided Peru with its year-round water supplies, while 80% of Peru's power comes from hydroelectricity. With global warming, the area of permanent ice pack shrank by about a third between the 1970s and 2006.[1]

Hola Aviar. Una hermosa foto. Las aguas cristalinas y las montañas al fondo son verdaderamente muy bellas. Exelente la ubicacion para la toma. Saludos Luis52.

Good point of view resulting in a fine composition!

Greetings,
Pablo -

I can easily believe that this mountain has been considered like the most beautiful one in the world and your picture witness it so perfectly! This is amazing! Tones of colors, exposure, POV and composition are perfect! This filter makes marvels; look at this sky! Thanks a lot for those interesting and useful notes. I live near a mountain that was classified as the first Canadian site being part of the natural reserve of UNESCO and I couldn’t remember what UNESCO stood for; now I have my answer :) Thanks again,
Claudine

Hi Aivar,
