Our highest pass yet.
More sandy washboard roads from Villarmar, the town mysteriously on no maps. It´s difficult to describe just how uncomfortable and slow these are but imagine riding a a shetland pony bareback down some stairs.....for 5 hours. (if you want to include the altitude imagine that while breathing through a snorkel).
Over this pass and down to a Borax mine where they put us up for the night. The campamento (Capina) situated at 4500m was home for 26 miners, a baker, a cook and was bitterly cold.
More great road, but the beautiful scenery and tranquility more than makes up for sore bottoms.
