Duck Canyon, with no ducks

Huaraz to Chimbote and on to Trujillo, via the Cañon de Pato (Canyon of Duck)
Wednesday 7 April 2010

   I didn´t see a single duck all day. But they did seem to have a lot of duck on the menu in those parts.

   To leave Huaraz, I took the scenic route, 8 hours of a very rough road, along the Cañon de Pato. It was a very scenic day. There must have been about 40 tunnels... I lost count about half way down and I was at 17 when I lost count. The tunnels are important to me... I get anxious in some tunnels. I´m not sure why it´s some and not others... maybe I sense their stability! I was exhausted by the end of the day.
