Start of an odyssey
It was planned to go to one last city before going back to Lima: Ayacucho. The city in the Andes is a cultural center for Peruvian arts and crafts but since it is very remote not many tourists go there. The busride to Ayacucho was supposed to last 22 hours in total…The first leg of the route would last 11 hours and stop in Andahuaylas and then go on to Ayacucho.We knew that this was a long ride, but we wanted to see the city and so we took the adventure. I must add that it was the rainy season which can sometimes cause some minor problems along the way…but more about that later.
We got our tickets – surprisingly cheap compared to the other tickets we got – and we boarded the bus for a ride through the night. Departure time was 10 pm. We left Cusco and headed the Andes direction Andahuaylas. We could not imagine what this ride would bring.
