Simply Amazing

On our quest to head from the coast to Huaraz we had to choose one of many roads to take us there. Only one was paved and this was way out of our way. The others range from powdery dirt to under construction and going over a 4200 meter (13000 foot) pass. We chose to follow the Rio Santo from sea level up to Huaraz. In it's voyage to the sea, the river has cut an impressive canyon not too dissimilar to the Grand Canyon. Just look at the google map and see how cool it is.

Then watch the video that we made. If this doesn't inspire you to get on a motorcycle and drive to Peru, then I don't know what will.

  2. Wow. Beautiful. At least you made it to a brazilian road. IF you need some rest and relaxation after your journey come to the actual Brazil. Love, Kate and Anderson
