Something not right?

Description

A nice mirador(viewpoint) with great views into the valley and only a short walk (10 min) from some interesting and romantically overgrown ruins offering stunning views into two canyons!!

We asked at the entrance gate (S 3 pP and S 2 p child) whether it was ok to stay the night. They said no problem. The parking lot is not too leveled but we were allowed inside (small roundabout) after 6 pm and it is perfectly leveled there.
Parking lot would offer room for 3-4 medium sized rigs but it is quite busy with visitors during the day - inside at the roundabout our big rig fit in easily.

There are good toilets (no light at night) and running water (?potable) - road there is in reasonable condition, not necessarily 4WD required but a bit bumpy and I guess it will be muddy after heavy rain.

Stayed in for one night. Ask nicely to the guardian before clossing time, or if arriving late need to speak with the neighborhood (comunidad) in Huanca. Otherwise they may kick you out. Quiet and beautiful
