As the city sleeps, we journey south through quiet Andean valleys and traditional villages, enjoying the serene landscapes and early light painting the mountains. After about three hours, we stop in a small highland community for a light local breakfast, your first taste of the crisp mountain air and warm Andean hospitality.
