Great ride but you would need more time, or ride part of it, then grab a truck/bus to get back to Ollanta. 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
I would prefer to make the trip longer and I'm trying to do 2-3 days acclimating to the altitude + 3-4 days riding/camping.
Is this the extra loop you are talking about...
