Leaving the comfort of another Peruvian oasis town I headed up into the Andes toward Bolivia. Not what I expected. Just a steady climb until it flattens out at about 5000 metres.
Starts off as sand then hardens up to rubble and then gravel looking ground. Eventually the country turns to rock and snow capped mountains towerin up to 6500 metres.
Spectacular.
Indian huts abound.
This mound of dirt, at the start of my climb, is similiar to Masada in Israel. Not only in looks but it also was the fortress of an ancient civilisation.
