Cochasquí addendum

I neglected to say in the Cochasquí entry that the climb to the area where the pyramids are was more of an adventure than is typical because there happened to be a 4-wheeler road race along the cobbled, stony road that we climbed.  Normally there are pick-up trucks that people can jump into so that they don´t have to climb the whole way up there.  Not only were there no pick-up trucks, but we had to run for our lives to get out of the way when the 4-wheelers came zooming up the road.  I learned the word for 4-wheeler:  cuadron, which was not high on my list of new vocabulary, but one never knows when certain words will come in handy!
