Maybe you did it a long time ago and it’s been improved since then?

The buses were more modern than an American school bus where I grew up and less narrow/dangerous than California route 1. I’m honestly very confident that most people would not find it sketchy.

I don’t give a fuck about your perception. Your perception of the road up to MP which is so tame that I among with probably a hundred other people hiked straight up through the middle of the switchbacks (whoa some cliffs huh?!) to get to the top in the pitch dark tells me you haven’t experienced much. It’s honestly laughable. If you want a debate about perception r/philosophy is that way ->

Then drive a car instead. It's not anywhere bad like you're believing the media.

I’ve been on that trip myself and for me it was sketch.

As a Peruvian myself, I'd be a lot more sketched out by the robbers and criminals that rob at gun-point, rather than a mountain drive.

I understand that we have a different level of what’s “sketch” and what isn’t- and I agree that getting robbed at gunpoint would terrify me a lot more. I was just sharing my thoughts and experience. I did love your country and the people that I met in both Lima and Cusco. Can’t wait to go back and see the cats at the park.
