We took the local bus, van, what- ever you want to call it....leaving the bicycles in our little Hostal Estrellita. Good choice as I realized we are climbing a long, high 4300m pass to the little village of Santa Maria. (A five hour drive) We hopped ... Read more >

The excitement of getting here and the excitement of being here is the same. I am falling in love with the city and myself in it! The fact that I cycled here from my house in Forest Knolls feels next to impossible. I wouldn't do it again - no f....ing ... Read more >

What a roller coaster! This country has the highs and lows of extremes. Lamas greeted us on top of this pass...seemed like they were smiling at us before they ran away, but that is solely our interpretation...
Kishuara wasn't anything much ... Read more >

We rode all day in the rain but fortunately in lower elevations - couldn't see much of the surroundings though...
The night was spend in Chincheros. Which was a quarter of way up the next pass. Coming down from Ocros we encountered numerous road construction ... Read more >

Raindrops all night - at times real heavy and threatening on the thin tin roof of our dumpy little hosbitaje in Ocros - made me feel like staying in spite of the dumpiness..
James got up and argued we need to go...can't be that bad...look, the rain ... Read more >

Sweet town - good to spend some time though I learned after a days rest I get even more tired -maybe I mentioned it before, but the endorphins are keeping me energized and then I crash...like a sugar crash.

Wednesday August 21st
Another dreamy day on a bike - actually this one is even more dreamy than the one from Junin to Huancayo, because there is hardly any traffic and the road -following the Rio Mantaro again or still (I don't even know...)- ... Read more >

Now, I am sad to leave this place. We keep extending, but it is really time to go!
From the moment we arrived, this buzzing city feels right in so many aspects. First of all it has a range of restaurant. One can eat a bit "fancy" with higher prices ... Read more >

We left Junin an hour later than our usual departing time needing the sun to be a little higher for more warms. Loaded with goodies from the market we hit the road at 9am. Hot in the sun - cold in the shade in thin air...like being on the moon I imagine.... Read more >

Gorgeous canyon down from Llata along the river, gentle and sweet and then passing a tunnel on semi steep switchbacks on dirt but - none - the -less - down and again along ....maybe the same river, I don't know the names of all these rivers, canyons ... Read more >

....and more of the same. Up until now we were able to get enough information about the road ahead and prepare mentally for the roads and conditions. All in all it is really hard to know what is waiting for us out there or - in some cases- the information ... Read more >
