I knew in my head that the Andes are shoved up, rather than volcanic (not completely true--I believe the Cordillera Negra, across the valley from the Cordillera Blanca, is volcanic), but it's hard to think about sea floors when you're in need of extra air at 14,000'. And there they were!Rebecca M.

I actually fretted all through the trek about having to do the drive back the other way, but it wasn't as bad as I'd feared, maybe because I was too tired to pay attention? I definitely prefer to be behind the wheel, though you could NEVER get me to drive through Lima (where we started and ended).Rebecca M.

Thanks for sharing that :) I, too, get carsick, though I can't be a passenger in pretty much any vehicle even on a flat highway, let alone THOSE crazy roads!
