The Challenging Day

Sunday, October 1st.

The porters woke us up at 5:45 a.m. by bringing a cup of coca tea to each of us at our tent. We then had an early and "big" breakfast, and began trekking to the highest point of the Inca Trail.
We were walking along the upper reaches of river in the mossy jungle. We cross the Warmiwanusca pass (the deadwoman pass) at 4215 M above sea level, and then almost perpendicularly descended to our camp site at Pacaymayu. Because we arrived at the camp site much later than the schedule, we had our lunch at 4:30 pm and then the dinner at 7:30 pm with a small rest in between. The green line on the map below indicates the trail we hiked.
