“Curva del diablo” means “Devil’s curve in the road” (precisely the red sign with white letters in the center of the photograph)and is a place, near Puno city in the highway that connects it with Juliaca city, called thus because there were (are?) so many vehicular accidents; hence adults prefer to don’t take responsibility and instead blame a hypothetical being that if exists I guess has better things to do than helps tired/drunk/negligent drivers to rest in the bottom of the road.
Fortunately these years there are fewer of those accidents; so I guess people these years is giving thanks to the devil for that fortune xD
Can see the little camper van advancing to its doom 😟 beautiful scenery Francis.
I didn’t take that picture XD!!
you didn’t?? you are joking (I think :) )
I didn’t take the picture of the car falling to the bottom I meant XD ach, my joke wasn’t clear :S
I am having a bad time of getting jokes this week! Not your fault, my brain is in literal mode!
haha, don’t worry, sometimes I have wrote in posts thought as sarcasm with so pompous and offended words because I didn’t notice the sarcasm :( xD
Beautiful place! The curve shouldn’t be blamed for bad driving though :)
ha! yes, that’s what I think (y)
@”Curva” = whore – in Romanian…:-))) so, we say in French: don’t tempt the devil!;-)))
Oh, that would be my second learned word in Romanian XD so now I’ve “apus” as dusk and “curva” as whore so a Romanian could thing that I went there to search whores at dusk XD
But not, I would be just happy to be the beautiful Romanians girls with the blush painted in their cheeks by the warm dusk ^_^
