Brililant Toby!
I did ride the Huancayo > Huancavelica >Ayacucho > Chincheros >Andahuayalas > Abancay and it would be my favourite in Sth Am so far. Not really difficult, but the scenery is spectacular and people very friendly and interesting also. The scenery definitely did get me, particularly in the high plains south of Ayacucho, because for the first time in 70,000 travel km I overshot a corner as a result of not watching the road! Fortunately i managed to get my speed down from about 90km/h to about 40km/h before I went over the edge, albeit sideways because I was still trying to make the corner. Bent and broke a few things on my bike but repairable to ride, and I flew over all the large rocks so was fine.
I'm currently riding with my friend Johan(HU:Swedish Rider), and we`ll be in Ushuaia tomorrow, and then intend to be in Buenos Aires on 24th to meet a non-biker friend for a week of rock n roll, and then,´no se. Your detailed description is excellent. A Pacific to Atlantic ride gives me a good idea to contemplate until BsAs…
