Hatun Machay

Our final outing in the Huaraz area, we go 1.5 hours south to Hatun Machay to do some sport climbing.  This place is amazing and we had it all to ourselves, no one around but the refuge keeper, Coco and the owner Andres.

Rock Forest, this time of the year the fog roles in around 1 or 2 and shuts us down

Good weather greets us in the am when the fog burns off

Warm in the sun, perfect climbing temps, and looking good

Last meal in Huaraz before heading to Cusco, Sex burger.  I had been looking for this joint since we got here, a standard place for people to go after a long day (or days)  playing hard in the mountains.  Here the Royal Burger comes with egg, cheese, and french fries all in one package.  The grand comes with an additional chicken patty and hotdog.  What!
