After being stopped by the mud while heading to the Volcano I turned the driving over to Daniela as she had never driven in a 4×4 situation. It was good experience and after we got to town we switched seats and hit the highway. I asked what was plan B and Daniela said home. My thoughts were like no way it’s to early to head back to the city there has to be somewhere to go.
While driving down the highway i remembered a road I had taken by myself when I returned from exploring a Pucara back in December. Daniela had never been on it and she mentioned we could cut across and end up in La Quiche using the Inca road. We had started on that section of road before but turned around and I can’t remember why. So off we went.
After leaving the highway we switched seats again. The trip up to the first set of pucara’s was an easy drive and we only took one wrong turn that dead ended in a farm yard, Once we started on the Inca road it was a little different. The rain had made it a muddy mess in quite a few places so it was back to 4×4. That section I thought was just a short hop over a small pass but turned out to be much longer. I am glad we went this way for I really enjoyed it. Lucky for us that we went the direction we did for we would not have made it going the opposite direction. This made up for not making it up Cayambe volcano (a little bit).
