First rest stop

 

Day One, rainy day

 

Looking down Dead Woman´s Pass
The second day was much more difficult for most (however, this was my favorite day!) We climbed 4,200 meters!!! crossing the Warmiwañusqa pass, the first and the highest.  Lost a few hikers to altitude sickness on this one:-(

Montana!

The third day was the longest and we had rain for most of it, but this day also had the most to look at. Runkuraqay, the second pass, was at 3,800 meters. We hiked around 16km this day.

 

On the fourth day, we arrived at the Sun gate and then Machu Picchu after 8 Km of hiking through the jungle and about a million (or maybe 3000) steps. my knees are not a fan of the down-step. 

We did it ! Macchu Picchu!!!
