Before returning to Cusco and on to Bolivia, we decided to try a little of the road that takes you closer to Machu Picchu than Ollantaytambo. It was a brand new road through some of the most interesting scenery of snow capped mountains and little Peruvian villages. I’ll let some pictures tell the story.
It was amazing that the road was in such good shape and well maintained given the remoteness of the area.
Here is the highest point of the road, about 14,500 feet above sea level. I was feeling the altitude.
A few lightweight water crossings at the switchbacks added to the entertainment.
I think that is a glacier....but not sure.
