Puno - Arequipa (day 55)

We left Puna in the morning. The lake Titicaca didn't make us stay. It was dry and the city around it, was ugly like any other. Yesterday evening, when we were driving to Puno we thought it's beautiful. The lights made it look from the hill like Acapulco or better. But then we didn't see any paths just sand roads with wild dogs in garbage. After an hour of driving around we come to a hotel with lights and windows. We took it straight away.
The next day we started the part of the trip to Arequipa. There were two roads to this city - a shorter one and a longer one. It seams easy which one to choose, but we did pick the longer one, because half of the road was just beside the deepest canyon in the world! The views were incredible, and we did beet our record. We were on the level of 5000 meters. And at the end of the the first part of the road we saw three condors. They're so smooth, so stylish, they can wait hours without moving theirs wings - just let the wind blow in to the 3 meters wide wings. I would try to made other people to ride this fantastic road, but letter one it changes to a disaster. From Huambo to El Alto there is 65 miles. That seams like an hour, maybe even less. But because this part is made from sand and stones it took us 3 hours. But that was the only minus of this longer road.
