Summit ridge of Montaña Machu Picchu, with the final section of the ascent, in the foreground. The Cordillera Urubamba with Nevado Bonanta (5319 m) is shown in the left and central background, whereas the Cordillera Vilcabamba with Nevado Salkantay (6271 m) appears in the right background of the scene. Those mountain ranges are separated by the meandering Urubamba Valley (panoramic view upstream in E direction).
