It was a quite difficult climb of 2:30 ... I was with a guide who was willing to stop from while to while ... poco a poco ... and this is what we found at the top ...
A seat for the chief ...
then a view of the ruins ...
and of course what a view ...
The way down was done in 1 hour with a stop half way down where some more tombs where situated. Even textile and rope to wrap the mummy ...
Then back to the hotel to fetch the lugage and hop to Chivay to fetch the bus to Arequipa ... all went well until at we heard a noice and ...
the car went broke ... in the middle of nowhere at 3800 altitude sun going down and getting colder and colder ... we just passed the highest point where it was snowing ...
so after an hour wait there was nothing else to do then to get the next bus (already full-seated)
and stand up in the middle ...
luckely after an hour bumpy ride we were transfered to a more comfartable bus where - not all of us but I did- whe could sit ... after a few hours drive and a realy good shower I went to Arequipa centre and had a real good meal...
pisco-sour, tuna-carpacio with a glass of white wine, a trio of andian meat with a glass of red whine ... total 110 sol = 25 €
