Llumpa, PER (9456 ft) to Yanama, PER (11180 ft)

Posted by scott in Leg 3

05/31 Another crazy climb out of the way. This one ranked up there as one of the harder ones thanks to lot’s of steep, loose stone sections. It also got pretty hot and shade was rare. Hit over 100F during lunch time. I hate to jinx anything but it sure is nice feeling 100% healthy and having the bike running perfectly.

Staying at a fancy place in Yanama. It’s called Andes Lodge Peru. The room was S50 a night but I guess I can spoil myself every once in a while. The shower is fantastic! Best one in a loooong time. They dropped this town right next to some very beautiful snow-capped mountains that I pedaled closer and closer to all day. Looking forward to riding across. The plan is to stay here tomorrow and try to get some pictures uploaded. It’s nice having wifi but it sure is slow.
