I lived in a very small town in Cajamarca, which is a very mountainous state in the north. I would take a 6 hour bus ride from town to the capital city twice a month. The road going down these mountains were so narrow that if you looked down out the window you couldn’t even see the road, just 500 ft down the side of the mountain

Every month or so you’d hear about a car, taxi or bus going off the cliff somewhere. I am not surprised about this, only that this is hitting world news.

Cajamarca to chachapoyas is the most terrifying paved road I’ve been on in my life.

I’ve heard. I lived in the South of the province of Cajamarca so never made it north of Cajamarca City.

The roads around Cajamarca itself weren’t that bad. It was like ‘I might live if the car goes off the cliff’ versus ‘there will be a Micheal bay explosion when I eventually hit the bottom’
