My bike vs. Charlie's in the lonely Peruvian desert between the Ecuador border and Lima. |
These dunes came and went the whole way down. |
Charlie taking in our very first view of the Cordillera Blanca. |
Here's the lake and glacier that we hiked to from The Way Inn. |
And another shot from the ride that day. |
36 tunnels in 17 kilometers. You can see two here. The scale of the valley is impossible to convey. |
Here's Charlie in front of a couple tunnels. |
Looking west down on the two lakes above Yungay from 15,300 feet. Struggling to breathe. |
This is the road we climbed up on. |
One last shot of the Cordillera Blanca after we came down from Huari. 'These are the days you should be having' |
Pictures of roads like that make you wonder who built them...and how...and why. I guess we should just be glad they did. BTW, the spare tires are a good look, ours decided to go it's own way somewhere in northern Argentina, maybe it wanted to be a tire swing.

Just as I thought - saw those roads on IRT Deadliest Roads this past month and knew I wanted to ride them too. Nice work through those canyons and great photos!
