Qhapaq Ñan

My trip will start in Pasto, in the southern part of Colombia.

From Columbia, I will walk to the Ecuadorian border, where I will cross over to Tulcan.

From here, I will be heading further south through:

- Carchi;
- Ibarra;
- Otavolo;
- Quito;
- Cotopaxi;
- and Cuenca.

Peruvian section

- Cajamarca;
- Huaraz (maybe taking a little detour)
- Huanuco;
- Huancayo;
- Cuzco;
- and then to Peru to complete this stage of my challenge at Lake Titicaca.

For Bolivia, I will start at the lake towards Tiwanaku, La Paz, Paria, and Tupiza. When I get to Argentina, the big attractions will be Tilcara, Salta, La Rioja, and Mendoza. At this point, the Andes road will end, but I push the challenge a little further and take a secondary road to Santiago and the trip will end in Talca, the southernmost point of the Qhapaq Ñan.

Upon completing this challenge, I would have taken the most northerly point of the road network to the southernmost points in this magnificent region.
