After leaving Chiclayo, we made our way East, heading eventually into the Andes. But before reaching those majestic mountains, we traversed small outlying towns populated by the ubiquitous "moto". These are motorcycles cannibalized into a type of taxi, with a bench seat and two wheels welded to a chassis on the tail end of the motorcycle. Each has it's own distinct personality, customized with various color schemes, hardware and accessories. It looked like fun until I saw one squashed beneath a big rig. For now I'll stay in the van.
Check out the fake fur on the gas tank and headlight.
At last..... the Andes!
