Peru has Major Diversity in its Landscape:)

We went from sea level to 13000 ft. in 55 miles. Today we rode above 14000 ft. for over 100 miles.Topped off at 14,982ft. CraZy stuff.P1020380

                                                                                P1020337 This is where we camped for the night at the elevation of 13000 ft.. simply amazing stuff. The stove barely worked at this elevation, but we managed a nice dinner and coffee in the morning..  oh yeah we woke up to a nice frost layer on our bikes.  The bike’s did run at this elevation. However they were a little sluggish. P1020326
