Not as famous as Machu Picchu but a nice walk, to be honest you can
ride probably 90% of it ... just a problem getting down the last 10%
intact. 
Just to give it some authenticity ....the old guy on the right gave us directions and we gave him two toffee lollies ....he liked them
In true form from the Peruvians who didn’t have a clue they guided us completely astray, Peruvians will never say they don’t know and they will always give you directions to somewhere.
The soil at this point was very red and very orange ....mineral rich of something.
There are a couple of crazy trees with S bends
There was few ruins along the way but to be honest without sounding like a bastid sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between ruins and someone house.
These are inhabited residence, no power, no running water, they are as genuinely old school as you can get.
The crest of the valley f i n a l l y ...with ominous clouds to go
Highlight of the day, an old man took a shine to Ellen and picked her some flowers which was duly thanked with a kiss ... he was not expecting that
Total surprise from him with Ellens reaction and thanking him, he was delighted despite the look on his face (which changed after this photo) and I know she made his day
This was our collectivo taxi that picked us up, there were 8 adults and 3 children in the car
, just a small Toyota station wagon .. could easy squeeze another dozen in
