We start early from the entrance of the park, we dread the wind that
would be against us at the beginning. We are progressing well, there is
no wind. We go around the Sajama then we move away little by little. The
road isn't too monotonous, there are plenty of small hills to climb. In
the early afternoon, we enter a deep valley filled with herds of llamas
and small isolated farms.
In a downhill Floriane stops, her
front tire is flat. We're afraid that the tire already damaged in the
South Lipez would have given up, but no, a simple puncture caused by a
very thin wire. We repair it quickly before continuing.
We arrive at the junction of the road to the village of Carahuara de Carangas, we find several buildings including an alojamiento/restaurant and another restaurant. The village is 5km and we don't want to reach it. The alojamiento is dirty as we're used to it: used sheets, turkish toilet without flush, no shower and a single tap for a group of buildings. We eat in the evening at the Alojamiento restaurant, the other pretending not to serve food while two men were having dinner.
