Chimbote to Huaraz
I left Chimbote for the Canyon del Pato. The road was paved all the way to Huaraz. The scenary was great and the pucker factor low. At the top of the canyon I stopped to take a picture of the dam. Before I got back on the bike a caravan of Moto touring people stopped for a photo op . One guy was riding an Africa twin and to my surprise I looked up and saw two couples riding two-up on two big Goldwings. I can't imagine riding on these roads and hitting one of these topes (and there are many of them) and nearly going airborne on a Goldwing?This group had a chase car with a motorcycle trailer, their own cameraman who jumped out and started taking pictures.
The tunnels (36) were fun even though I met big tractor (no trailer). We both stopped and I had to get in the ditch and move around the tractor. We were both going very slow and I guess it was no big deal for the tractor driver.
