This is caused by the reaction of bird droppings and limestone and is traditionally used as a fertilizer 🚜, but also in the production of explosives💣. The word guano comes from Quechua, where it's called "wanu". 🤓 Responsible for the chemical reaction is the nucleobase guanine contained in the bird's urine.

The station in Hidroeléctrica. Those who still needed something could stock up at the stalls with snacks and more. I walked from there along the railway tracks to Aguas Calientes. I sweated like hell in the high humidity. But it was really nice! ✌
