Morning drive to Chivay, beautiful scenery along the way. Passed cute vicunas, guanacos (the origin of the llamas and the alpacas), llamas and alpacas. Then we went the highest we have been at 4900meters, mild headache but not much else. It was nice at the pass with stone huts and the centre of the volcanoes.
Reached Chivay mid afternoon, not much to do here. The children are used to tourists, a girl dressed up with her llama said the longest and loudest cheese I have heard (then the hand came out for money).
A procession was out in celebration of the patron saint of the Police, they were dressed and playing the band. Thermal springs was an option for the afternoon but I snuggled up with a book instead.
