After a very grueling second day of walking, hiking, climbing...etc, our guide Roy decided to give us an easy, short day of walking, only 10km, so we would have energy for the final day and Machu Picchu. Once we had packed up from our second campsite, Pacamayo, we set off for our final campsite, phuyupatamarca (or town in the clouds) at 3670 meters high. On our way to the campsite we visisted 2 other archeological sites and had our final lunch with the group. Once the amazing porters had run past us and set up camp, we had a final dinner of Tofu and presented the porters with some presents for their hard work. We were then told the bad news that we would be getting up at 2.30 the next day, so everyone disappeared into their tents and hit the hay as soon as possible.
Day two is already taking effect after just over 30 minutes...
