17th April 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was by far my favourite day of the trek (bar my time at Machu Picchu itself). It was less strenuous than the previous two days, but also we traversed a range of landscapes – mountains, valleys, tropical jungle, cloud forests, all with spectacular views.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day started like the previous one – a 5.30am wake-up call with coca tea, half an hour to perform our ablutions, before breakfast. It had been a very cold night. I\u2019d woken up a couple of times to put on more clothes- finally making use of the thermal top and socks I had brought with me, so the hot coca tea was very welcome. I chose not to use the toilet or bathroom (having heard horror stories about the mess, both literally and figuratively) and decided to find a panoramic bathroom (as Odi called it). I brushed my teeth, washed my face and then found what I thought was a secluded spot to pee. Turns out I did not choose wisely, and I ended up mooning one of the girls!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set off at quarter to 7am, spending some minutes appreciating the location of our camp, Paq\u2019aymayu (Pacaymayo), snugly nestled in a valley between two colossal mountain ranges. The guides assured me that the uphill climb of the day would last 2hrs. Still, it was a struggle. Not because it was a particularly challenging hike, but because I was having flashbacks to the previous day and the thought of more uphill climbing, more steps, and more exposure to the effects of the altitude was one that I did not relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a 45-minute uphill climb to our first stop, Runkuraqay. Runkuraqay is an archaeological site on a mountain of the same name, with circular and semicircular enclosures. It is believed to have served as a resting post for the travellers and runners. From this vantage point, one has a good view of \u2018Dead woman\u2019s pass\u2019, and the profile of a woman looking at the sky.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
