The Cols

Day #16: Cusco - Pitumarca

Heading towards the Rainbow Mountains. Supposedly you can shred it by bike and it’s not a gnarly gravel so I’ll give it a try. It tops off at 5000m above sea level so that’s definitely google to be challenging.

Check out the pictures. This is the true Peru not the stuff you see in the old town of Cusco. Multiple beds in one room (15soles/night~=$4) and ‘restaurants’ with a questionable hygiene (5soles~=$1.5 for a soup, main dish and some tea). Honestly this place feels more real than Cusco’s tourist bubble where you pay 50 soles for a meal.
