Anticona, Mountain summit in Huarochiri Province, Peru
The Anticona summit rises to 5,150 meters above sea level, standing between the regions of Lima and Junin in the Peruvian Andes mountain range.
The mountain pass near Anticona formed part of the Ferrocarril Central Andino railway system, which held the record for highest railway junction worldwide.
The Ernest Malinowski Monument at the mountain peak commemorates the Polish engineer who designed the complex railway system through the Peruvian Andes.
Visitors must acclimate to the altitude before attempting ascents, as atmospheric pressure reaches only 50 percent of sea level, causing potential health effects.
The surrounding railway infrastructure includes eight tunnels within a 3.2-kilometer stretch, demonstrating exceptional engineering solutions for mountainous terrain.
Elevation above the sea: 5,150 m
