The Altiplano
It was good to be back on the road after a few days of relative luxary in Cuzco. Feeling much stronger than we were in the highlands we had no problems over the passes.Abra La Raya was the begining of the Altiplano so we looked forward to some days of cycling without having to tackle massive passes everyday.
The snow covered peak in the distance was Abra La Raya. The Altiplano seemed to spill out in every direction and let the sunlight fill the space where the mountians once stood. The vast open expanses are beautiful, the sun is super bright and the roads melt into the horizon.
Today we have seen at least 20 tornadoes-twisters of various sizes so tomorrow we´ll atempt to chase one and photograph it, flying llamas and all. We´ll post some photo´s as soon as we have time in Puno but at the moment we need to find a cold beer.
