Long Treks, Episode 10: Abancay to Cusco

on 22/11/2010, 15:07.

These gringos push into real trouble, after a night-long torrential downpour they wake up to a 15km ascent into Abancay. It is steep and the locals harass them into a fury resulting in Paul nearly murdering a dog and Aaron suffering from a cramp in his butt. 3 mountain passes are conquered before Cuzco and some terribly dangerous downhills.  Cuzco is a major landmark city in the journey, and in triumph they throw water balloons at anything that moves. After Adam nearly getting beaten up and arrested for throwing water balloons at a man on steroids (not caught on film), they leave Cuzco only to find themselves lost and trespassing on Cuzco's airport landing strip.  Enjoy!
