The entrance to The Maker's Perch is at 29, 40. It's directly north of the Nesingwary Base Camp.
The switch is inside, in a section called The Tribunal of Ages, at 26,35.
honestly though, how many people would have Cold Weather Flying, but not a 200g mount?

Description
It is time then. Let us activate the waygate. You will find the first switch inside the Makers' Perch in the western edge of the basin. Beware, {name}. The titans used the perch to watch over their creations. Many of their stone servants still guard the place.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Freya's Pact
The cultists have been taken care of, but the Scourge's invasion has not slowed down. The situation is becoming desperate, <name>. There exists a last resort. Before I reveal any more, however, I must be sure I have your absolute trust.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Powering the Waygate - The Makers' Overlook
We cannot stop now, <race>. You've triggered the first switch, but one remains. The titans constructed a second vantage point where they oversaw their creations. You'll find it to the east, high in the mountains. Pull the activation switch theta inside the overlook and the waygate will open.
