This has been a long day ride. Leaving Arequipa at the altitude of 2500 m and going through the maximum altitude of 4910 m on the way which is a lot of stress for your body! Surely you can't run :) The recipe? Just take it easy, walk very slowly, breath deeply and don't forget to drink coca leaves tea and or coca leaves sweets. 

The following photos are intended to show you the atmosphere during the ride. Most pics are taken from the mini bus windows, they may not be all as sharp as it should be.
