Aguas Calientes to La Chapilla

We left the hot springs early in the morning, after a last dip in the 40 degree pool.

The day started off with a 10km climb to the border between the Cusco and Puno regions, high up on 4335m.
Without rain and headwind this climb was much more doable than the one the day before.

And from there on it was only downhill or straight on almost empty roads with beautiful mountain scenery!

We battled some more headwind on our last 20k to our BnB for the night, but got rewarded with a very nice fireplace in the evening and great breakfast the next day 😀 oh, and not to forget: 3 cats, 2 cuddly dogs, 5 puppies, 3 geese and a bunch of guinea-pigs who all live at the BnB 🐈‍⬛️
