Snow-covered summit of Salkantay rising above dark ridgelines in morning light

Salkantay, 6,271 meters, is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba range. We never hiked it — there's a separate Salkantay trek — but it dominated the skyline from camp. The glaciers catch the morning light in a way that makes the rest of the mountains look small.
