Inca Trail Day 2

Day 2: Dead Woman´s Pass - Runcuraccay Pass - Chaquiccocha
Considered the hardest walking day because of the 16 km distance and the elevation of the Death Woman’s Pass.
The hike starts early in a beautiful “mountain jungle” where it is possible to see hummingbirds.
As the elevation increases, the landscape gets more rocky and the jungle receeds.
After lunch we start our ascent of the second pass of the day where we can see two lakes. On the descent we can visit the Inca site of Sayacmarca and then reach the camp of Chaquiccocha (3600 m).
The amazing cook Armando gets us “happy hours” with popcorn’s, pisco sour and an adorable carved zucchini where you could roast marshmallows (see pictures for a better explanation).Read more
