The salt water comes out of the ground at about 90F, salty as can be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Mines_of_Maras The salt mines have changed quite a bit from my understanding, I should ask my brother if he did them when he did the Pan Am. My understanding is you used to be able to...

The ag circles were cool, each one a test plot for crops. And of course, built in drainage, and steps into each circle. More phenomenal before “their” time engineering, or……the rest of the world was just really slow. All of us are aware of a few things, we are out of cash. Someone is missing a...

AbleGuy, Thanks! At first, I started posting as a way for me to “pay it back” for those whom I have gleaned so much information, and inspiration from. Now, I find myself going back to my own thread, and fixing the errors from typing so fast, or just to relive old memories. If this site ever...

Our first stop was Chinchero, (none of us really remembered asking for this stop on our tour, our previous guide has added it to our list without us knowing). Our driver let us out and let us know he would park in the lot below and where to find him. We wandered around the old city center, but...

Cabrito: It can always be worse. And I generally keep and feel that mindset to the core. Everything is relative. The last day was a rough one, it did not help that I had a bit of a gut ache. And had done something to my hip. So, I was unable to stand for a lot of the rougher stuff, or just...

Hell, I am enjoying reliving it as I type this up from my office. I am working hard; at looking busy. :p Glad you are enjoying it.

It was a day of mixed emotions, sore muscles and road conditions of every type. Thunder clouds and storms formed in front of us. And we played hide and seek with the rain and lightning strikes the closer we got to Cusco. The last few hours it was steady rain we were in and out of. Today was the...

No surprise here, still impressive engineering and weaving.

Nov 10, ride day 7 (Last ride day) Espinar-Cusco We all awoke, and after breakfast picked up the moto’s and rode them to the front of the hotel and loaded them for the last time. None of us slept well, as all our rooms centered around an empty elevator shaft, so every noise echoed around all...

It was an uneventful ride, not always a bad thing. This would also be our last night, “on the trail”. As the following day would end back in Cusco. And would spent a few days after the ride still in country, we * thought* we had our remaining days in country, post ride, all planned out….. A...

Nov 9, ride day 6. Headed to Espinar, Peru This was a ride day, just miles and smiles. About 5 hours of gravel, with hard packed dirt. The deeper washboards kept us standing for a lot of the ride. And as always friendly locals. It was not uncomon for folks to ask to take pictures with us, This...

This was ride day 1, just a short video of the road examples. I don’t have a location for you, other than Peru. I did not take the video, so no meta data was with it.

Have you asked if tiger would mount it on a new chassis?

All solid points, and it’s always nice to see build(ers) thinking about what job their vehicle is for and adjusting accordingly. After all, our vehicles are just tools. Singles allow you to air down, but if this is not needed. Duals can allow rocks to get stuck between them causing issues. But...

Iglesia De Santa,Ana Maca, Church in Mava Peru. Last town on the way to the condors. This statue, I have no info on. It was in the Plaza Principal, de Maca Peru. And does not even show up, on google street view. Nor much info from a reverse google image search. I found it interesting none...

Once we left the condors, we headed out to a geyser, that was about 30km/ish away on rough dirt roads. Seemed like a great way to finish out the morning. Geiser de Pinchollo That is an “Extinct” volcano behind us: Hualca Hualca Personally, as active as this region is. I don’t know how...

We stayed here a few hours, after about 1hr, the crowds left, as the busses headed back to town for their next load. They seem to bus people in convoy, so getting here on our own was advantageous. As we could wait out the crowds, which is not always possible. Two are in this picture, the...
