Bombo oblique views of old track
These oblique satellite images show views of a feature which can be traced for a distance of around 6 miles (10km) running though the mountains to the east of Bombo, southeast of Huanuni. The route enters a turning circle H1 at it's northern end, then doubles back at a lower altitude to enter another turning circle H6 (today disappeared) before continuing north again at a lower level. The turning circles look like an old railway route or could possibly have been a mountain irrigation canal, further investigation is needed.. Large parts appear to have disappeared due to eathquake activity.


Vertical satellite image showing the route between H1 and H6.
The route enters from the south east at a higher level (H5), then enters the turning circle H1, returns south
at a middle level enter the turning circle at H6, then heads north at a lower level.
