What a beautiful view, for me it's not about getting to this place and taking the panoramic photo, it's the movement 😍 it's that the walk is unique, I had a really great climate, well varied and it was extraordinary, from snow, autumn season with sunshine, very lucky in my ascent and descent. I was even able to see pumas on my way back.
