If yesterday’s road trip was high adventure, today’s was celestial. 6 hours of dirt roads, zig zagging, up & down Andes ranges from 3,000’ – 11,650’. Switchbacks with sheer cliffs on one side and sheer wall on the other side were the norm. The pictures don’t pick up how scary it was, particularly the pockets to the one lane to accommodate opposing traffic.
Every moment was dramatic! The scenery was majestic.. The Cayenne even sacrificed a tire. We were lucky to be close enough to a town to have a tire repair man come to help. We still have 3 hours of unpaved road to Cajamarca. The tire delay was enough for the heavy rain to arrive. Cold and wet, we took refuge in Celendin.
Note: There are a lot of pictures of scenery for today, but the 
transmission from Peru may have cut them short..
