Cañón del Pato (Duck Canyon 35 Tunnels Road)
Where the snow-covered peaks of Cordillera Blanca and the black jagged rock of Cordillera Negra converge to within 15 meters of each other. The road is chiseled into the sheer granite canyon walls hundreds of feet above the roaring Santa River, passing through 35 unlit, single-lane tunnels hand-hewn directly through solid rock. Headlights, horn-honking on blind tunnel approaches, and total composure are essential.
