Wow, 198,000 km on their 125cc Mavila? They've got Spud beat by a long shot. Do the three of them ride together, like in photos I've seen? Do they speak your language or you theirs?

The three of them were on the moto, it's common to see complete families on small motos. We pulled into the ruins at the same time, they spoke Spanish so it wasn't a problem, they had a picnic and asked be to join them, nice folks. That said, millions of people in the Andes speak Quechua or Aymara (there are many dialects of both languages), earlier this week I got lost in a remote area near the Bolivian frontier, I found several groups of indigenous people but could not communicate with any of them.
