5:15 wake up call in the morning of day 3, I hadn’t slept the best and unfortunately that meant it was going to be a harder days hiking. Especially since I had to carry my own backpack again. The sunrise during breakfast was beautiful though.

The morning started with more uphill hiking to the 3rd pass of the trek, the views along the way just kept getting better. The vertical size of these mountains is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. There’s loads of mountains, all big, most with jungle vegetation on them and then some gigantic snow capped peaks dominating the landscape. At one point, near the pass we went through one of the inca tunnels on the trail, carved out of a combination of a landslide and solid rock.

After the pass it was steep downhill on a really cool inca stairway surrounded in bamboo, leading to another inca lookout station. Great view here, great spot.

Unfortunately our dimwit guide decided to make a speech for an hour here. Not about the lookout station, he didn’t mention it once, but about random historical facts (many of which were incorrect). We ranked this as the low point of his extremely low performance. This speech included drawing a map of Europe in the dirt (god knows why), informing us that in latin american history there were only 2 empires, the incas and the “mexican empire” and that in current Central America there were two countries, Mexico and Guatemala! Such wonderful “facts” were accompanied by, about every 5 minutes, the date Machu Picchu was discovered and the name of the guy who discovered it. I think I heard that about 1000 times over the 4 days. Still, here’s the view:

Moving on from the so called guide… Next we continued descending through the jungle in what was now a hot sunny day with muscles that had gotten tight while we were sitting through the speech. The scenery was still great, and we could see Machu Picchu mountain now (the other side from the city) but this bit was tougher for me, partly due to the fact that my legs had tightened up but more because it was quite hot and I was carrying my backpack.

After hiking down for what seemed like an age, less time hiking than the previous days but more distance since it was much less uphill or steep, we finally got to the last campsite, complete with showers. This last campsite, like all the others had a stunning view of mountains across a valley. It also had the Huinay Huayna ruins very near to it, the most impressive inca site on the before Machu Picchu itself, lots of farming terraces and an incredible water system. Our backup guide did the tour of this so I actually learned something about it…

After the day of hiking, exploring the inca site and taking a much needed shower everyone just waited for dinner so we could go to bed. I was shattered and the next morning had a 3:45 wake up waiting for us, in order to hike into Machu Picchu early. Yes, 3:45am. I haven’t gone to bed before 9 this many days in a row before since I was a little kid. Here’s the view from my tent…
