In 1966 in the thematic photo exhibition which took place in Munich, the Peruvian mountain Alpamayo was grated the title "The Most Beautiful Mountain of the World". Surely this assertion is quite disputable, - if you exclaim that there can not be THE MOST beautiful mountain as all the mountains are beautiful in different ways, and their beauty depends mostly on the man's ability to see it, of course you will be right. But, standing on the snow saddle of the high pass between Alpamayo and the neighboring mountain Qitaraju, and being face to face with Alpamayo - it will be difficult to refuse this title to her. Alpamayo amazes by the correctness of its forms and by some power of attraction. Alpamayo West Face, oriented exactly to the West and covered with the ice and snow with deep vertical channels cut in it, burns on the sunsets with all the possible colors and it is one of the most incredible and astounding impressions, which man can get from his communication with the mountains.
