Inca Trail - Day Three

Flowering from Wiñay Huayna
Above Wiñay Huayna
A lot of down!
The final pass is a mere 80m higher than the morning´s camp site, and then it´s down another 1000m for the rest of the day. A lot of sore knees creek down the steep staircase and I´m very glad I was talked into renting walking sticks, as the steps are also fairly slippery.
We make it to the final campsite at Wiñay Huaya early in the afteroon, where folks have a chance to shower and sleep off the rest of the afternoon (and drink beer!). Later our guide takes us to the nearby ruins at Wiñaywayna which is about 1/10th the size of
Machu
Piccu without the crowds.
Later that night we have the chance to thank our porters one at a time for all their hard work as our paths diverge the following morning.
