Vicabamba mountain range

Vicabamba mountain range

Located between the Urubamba and Apurímac Rivers, the mountain range stretches over 100 km (62 miles). The snow-capped peaks of Salkantay and Huamantay, standing at over 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) tall, are incredible. The abrupt geography of the range is divided by beautiful canyons and covers the Ampay National Sanctuary, a refuge for an extensive variety of flora and fauna.

Machu Picchu is one of the attractions of this mountain range
