Just as short 2½ hour ride up the Panamericana today. I would have liked to continue, but for one of the first times on the trip I don’t feel completely comfortable wild camping in this part of Peru. Instead I will have to stop where the hotels are.
And speaking about the cheap hotel I found, I also wasn’t completely comfortable leaving my bicycle in custody of the young guy in the reception there, but I couldn’t stay in my room the whole day… When I came back mama had taken over the running of the place, and I was suddenly more comfortable.
Out in the streets of this small town (Pativilca, population 10.000) there was a procession going on. Processions are popular here!
I enjoyed the show for a while, then found an internet café before heading back to my hostel for an early night.
