Peru - Girls on the Go 2022

After driving through fertile fields of grapes, avocados, oranges, paprika and many other crops, our van climbed over a pass. In the process there was a narrow tunnel that looked like it was carved by hand through the mountain. Very narrow and claustrophobic, with rough hewn rock on either side.
