Rainbow Mountains – Ausangate, Peru?

Question from site editor Rick McCharles …

The Ausangate Circuit is one of our top 10 hikes of the world.

I was there in 2005.

Back then we’d never even heard of the nearby #Vinicunca Rainbow Mountains.

Leave a comment if you know of how to get there independently from Tinqui. I may be able to hike it in 2016. Thanks.

Danny MacAskill’s Solar Eclipse

On Friday March 20th a Solar Eclipse plunged Europe into darkness. Photographer Rutger Pauw teamed up with Danny MacAskill to capture the moment on Danny’s homeland, the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

With just one small window of opportunity to get the shot he had dreamed about, Rutger and the team spent days scouring to select the perfect location. This clip gives a unique behind the scenes look at how they found the spot and how they managed to capture one of the most creative shots of the year.
