Chachapoyas to Lima
 |
Leaving delightful little Chachapoyas and my friendly hostel was not easy. I liked it there, but I had a reservation in Nasca and a bus to catch in Lima to take me there. I remembered running across an email from one of the archaeologists who had worked at Kuelap recommending MovilTours as a bus company, and I went with them. It was a very long ride and I gladly paid the extra money to be housed in the bottom of the bus where the few luxury seats were located. |

The drive takes one from the high Andes to the coast through many small towns and villages. |

What's nice about Moviltours is that they will stop at designated, secure, locations and everyone gets to go out to eat in a restaurant - included in the price. |

Always dropping lower. Just getting to the coast is about a 9-hour ride. Often we went along a river and the weather seemed to be changing all of the time. Here the unexpected jungle. |

I think that the driver was ok. I did not see any ambulances around. This was the second roll-over I saw (the first one was outside of Quito) and I barely caught this one. |
 |
The sun was low in the sky when we hit the foothills of the Andes |

Colorful and lovely to look at in the warm evening light |

The pineapple salesman on the move. Looks like he already had made a delivery, in the first picture. |

| Seems to be the town square of the smallest of places. That might be even the name of the village on the structure (where one could imagine a small band playing on a warm summer night) |
