planet peru

alive and happy got up the next day at a brisk 5am or so… on the road to more out of this world like landscapes riding fast on moutaintop flat wide open space for hours…only a few trucks and grand herds of animals roaming around. zoom in and see specs are llamas, alpacas, deer things...all valley's covered and flat areas packss of 10-100 everywhereshortly after this pic the road felt a 120mph silver bullet...but not for long.... llama crossing slow things down....Passing occasional village of herders and out of nowhere highland lakes…eventually start coming back down….. it is impossible to get used to the feeling of riding DOWN to the clouds.
Got in them and they were as thick ive seen riding enabling only about 30ft of visibility on mountain ridge potholed half gravel half pavement roads… gripping the handlebars tight for what felt like hours but really only 30 minutes or so until riding out Which lead to more incredibly humbling scenic views and a town or two. various landscapes high up peru are from another planet. where are we?
donde esta el bano?
ohhh...gracias
