Peru - Canyon del Plato questions
Hello all,
I am currently traveling on PE-3N and headed south towards Caraz.
We been told that Canon del Plato is a very cool place and that theres a dirt road that is roughly 40km long that is breathtaking.
Problem is, the research I have done shows that the canyon rides from near the coast, all the way to Caraz along the Santa river, a long stretch.
I would like to know exactly where is the section of dirt road in there that In these photos below? Edit:sorry cant get photos to load
I am hoping they are closed to PE-3N than Chimbote on the coast because I am not really wanting to head towards the coast right now.
Any help is appreciated.

It is CANYON DEL PATO... which is why you are probably not finding any info on it!

Hello guyz, I was without internet for a while. We did ride the Canyon (canon in spanish) but it was all paved from the Tablachaca river(Chuquicara) all the way to Caraz. We did not find the dirt road we were looking for but a great ride nontheless.

Along the Santa river. PE-3N from Chuquicara to Caraz. All paved.
We started where the Tablachaca river dumps in the Santa river.
