As of March 2017 - This trail is now overgrown and unwalkable. Locals are now using the road in this section and indeed form most of the way between Totora and Chaullay. Near the town of Chaullay it is possible to descend from the road. I took a higher path halfway between the old trail and the road which had been well used and which cut out the top road switchbacks. It may be possible to go further down to the old trail and from there cut out the whole town and road switchbacks however this would be exploratory and the path leading further down towards the old trail did not look well used.
