On my first trip to Peru I had the opportunity to visit the area-- the trip to the nearest town (Miraflores) involved a very "interesting" mountain drive in poor lighting, and at the time, the next largest town (Llata) only had a $5 a night hotel where my room number was indicated by the number on the billiard ball key ring.  Seriously though, that's why I love this.  If I have anything to complain about, it would be that the bumps in that road out of Miraflores posed excessive danger to the well being of my newly purchased (and very fragile) barites.....
