The closest I have is this shot taken from Huayna Picchu. That road leads to the Machu Picchu complex entrance from Aguas Caliente.

I think this one is near Sacred Valley.

Some very hyperbolic roads, Jeff and Sury! :D
How does taking those tight turns feel, I wonder ...

Thanks for sharing the vast vistas that make these vehicle roads look as small and frail as if they are wild goat trails ... :)

Jeff,
That is desolate, alright. I hate to have my car breakdown there.

Agreed.

These places are no easy rides and help is nowhere to be seen in this vastness ...

Thanks for sharing,

Sury and Yildiz, while it is true that there are some desolate areas, there are others like this one. It's especially beautiful in the green time of the year
