On the Carretera al Colca (Colca Highway), passing herds of alpaca, llama, and vicuña, as well as the unique giant coots and Andean ducks which frequent the high Altiplano lakes. - From this point, the road climbs to 4910m (16,108 ft), one of the highest elevated passes in the world, nearly three miles above sea level. - I was so cold up near the apex, I was shaking; my right leg was like a sewing machine. My right hand was completely numb, the left hand I kept on the warm engine block. - Riding my motorcycle with herds of alpaca on either side of the road was a visual dream of mine, finally realized. - Impressive how hearty those fuzzy camelids are. I wish they were more into cuddling! - @senabluetooth #senabluetooth #rideconnected #alpacas #peru #puna #colcacanyon #patapampa #brrr @indianmotorcycle @rolandsandsdesign @memphisshades https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzwcpm0BTsB/?igshid=dn7j43isjmb3
