Salkantay to Machu Pichu

For once cycling was not really an option, so we took a five day trek, via the 2nd highest mountain in Peru: Salkantay.












The first 2 days were uphill to the pass at 4650m.









Followed by 2 days downhill through rapidly changing scenary.










































Finally after a 4.00am start and another 2050 steps up to the entrance. Machu Pichu!














It has to be seen to be believed.
