We have embarked on a trip to the central rainforest of Peru, which will take us up over the Andes from Lima into areas formally controlled by the Shining Path terrorists and rebels and into the rainforest.
The journey, by car, takes us up over 5000 metres above sea level on a winding mountain road, with spectacular scenery.

It took us 6 hours to get from Lima to Tarma(almost there) and these photos cover that journey.
