I started in Arequipa which added quite a bit of climbing and some thrilling city riding but the listed starting point would be fantastic for a climb without any descent. The gravel starts after Chiguata and it is chunky with some washboard and occasional sand. I was on a gravel bike with 35mm lightly treaded tires and I wouldn't want anything less. As far as I can tell, all of the locals use mountain bikes for these roads.
I know the scenery is incredible up there and most people see vicuñas but unfortunately it was very foggy once I got to about 13,000 feet. It was also cold at the top of course...about 45F on the day I was up there.
There are some tiendas for resupply in Chiguata which is a very charming little town. If you are going to go through the tunnel at the top, you should have a headlight because it's not lit and it's just long enough to get very dark in there. There is some traffic so use caution on the bends.
