The mountain returns

83.3km
273.6m
198.1m

We're leaving early in the morning, it's very beautiful. The mountain is much more beautiful now than yesterday under the wind and the grey clouds.

We arrive around 10:30 in Pucara. The village is nice, especially the beautiful church. But it's a little too early to eat. So, we order a take-away lunch. We pass the 7,500 kilometers.

We arrive at Ayaviri around 14:30, but we want to go further to balance with the day tomorrow. Thanks to the mobile app iOverlanders, we know that there is a cheese factory 10 kilometers away, which has already hosted tourists. At worst, we will push to the village 8 kilometers after.

The road is straight and monotonous, but we move quickly, and we arrive at this famous cheese factory. The owner immediately agrees that we camp in his garden. We obviously buy a cheese, and a yoghurt. This cheese factory is also a restaurant, and we take the opportunity to eat a local specialty, the "queso frito" (fried cheese). It's very good.
