Ticlio

Peru

Ticlio (or Anticona) is a mountain pass and the highest point (4, 818 m or 15, 807 ft) of the Central Highway of Peru (km 120), located in the Andes Mountains in the Chicla District, Huarochirí Province, Department of Lima. It used to be a railway crossing loop on the Ferrocarril Central Andino (FCCA) in Peru, whose main claim to fame was being the highest railway junction in the world. The railway now crosses the pass through the nearby Galera Summit Tunnel at a lower elevation of 4,783 m (15, 692 ft) and enters a different valley than the highway on the eastern side of the pass.
