Abancay
It´s best to keep the tent out of view of the road.This was a beautiful spot for the night looking west over a range of jagged peaks (not shown).
Can you see the tent?
The road to Abancay (hidden in the misty valley) was long. A 60 Km descent was just enough to relax our weary legs before the final 20km climb into the town. The main event here was the end of the dirt and the begining of the tarmac. Significantly this not only means our bottoms don´t get quite so bruised but it means the food is better or at least more varied. Unfortuantely it's still fried in the same oil they were using 6 months ago so fried banana and guinea pig (cuy frito) tastes just about the same.
