Atmospheric Phenomena of Peru: Full Spectrum

21/10/20 – Lake Paron, Caraz - Ancash – 4,180 M.A.S.L

During pandemic, travelling inside of Peru was barely possible due to the mobilization restrictions imposed by the government due to the Covid Pandemic situation, nevertheless, a group of friends and I, travelled from Lima in a 10-hour car-trip during rainy season to visit lake Paron.

What we found the moment we arrived to this sanctuary was this majestic rainbow in a place untouched by people for months, a unique sighting.

According to the Incas, the Rainbows Axis made the governing person the chief of the community, endowing supernatural power. The Rainbow was a protective divinity of the Incas.

A rainbow is caused by sunlight and atmospheric conditions. Light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water. The light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths or colors.
