Huaraz, Peru













The moment we got off the plane in Lima, Peru we hopped on an overnight bus to Huaraz.  Huaraz is a tiny, poor town in the middle of Peru with some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.  After our long bus ride we were eager to go exploring right away.  We dropped off our backpacks at a hostel and arranged a mountain biking tour through the endless mountains of Huaraz.  Although quite challenging, it was one of the most peaceful bike rides I have ever experienced.  We biked up and down the rolling hills, passing donkeys, tiny dirt-floor-huts, local Peruvians, and breathing in fresh mountain air.  We ended a perfect first day in Peru with a few Sierra Andina Peruvian beers!
