Day #13: Huancarma - Abancay — Easy day consisting mostly of a descent. Sorry for no pics but it was too fun to go down so I didn’t stop. Touring Peru 101 by M General remarks: cash is king bottle water
Day #12: Andahuaylas - Huancarma — What a cosmic valley! And I almost said to myself that Peru is dull because once you saw one Pampas you’ve seen it all. Wrong! Amazing day. Good legs, good lungs, great weather and spectacular
Day #10: Uripa - Andahuaylas — No pictures today because I didn’t take any - super foggy and poor visibility anyways. Had decent legs on today’s uphill. I am happy with myself. On the descent I caught up with a French

Day #3: San Mateo - Curipata — This was the hardest ride I have ever done. Things were going rather smoothly but at around 4000m above sea level I couldn’t catch a proper breath and push watts at the same time. I
Day #2: Matucana - San Mateo — Eaaaassyy day because this is the last village on this side of the mountain pass and I wouldn’t be able to make it at one go, nor should I even try. I should probably stay
