Huascarán Loop, also known as Roads 107 & 106, is an absolute must-do ride while in Peru. 🏔️🏍️

📸 These photos and videos are from Ruta 107, the paved section of the loop that passes through the iconic Punta Olímpica Tunnel. Opened in August 2013, it’s one of the highest motorable tunnels in the world, surpassed only slightly by a few tunnels on the Tibetan Plateau.

⛰️ The road climbs from the town of Carhuaz at 2,600 m / 8,800 ft, gaining more than 2,000 m / 6,500 ft as it winds its way up into the Andes. The highest point is at the tunnel entrance at 4,735 m / 15,535 ft.

🎟️ To ride this route, you’ll need a valid ticket for Huascarán National Park, which costs about 30 PEN / 8 USD per day.

Another unreal mountain pass on the Peru Great Divide Trail. Does this kind of epicness ever end? And could one ever get tired of it? 😂🏔️🏍️
