    Inca Trail Day 3: Chaquiccocha - Wiñaywayna
    We start our day under a slight rain that luckily does not last but unfortunately blocks the view to the Salkantay summit. We walk on the original Inca Trail and I stay in the back with Valentin to ask questions about the construction of the trail.
    This is an easy day, only 10 km so we are at camp for lunch.
    In the afternoon we visit my favourite Inca site (with Macchu Picchu): . I explore it for a very long time with Vivek and Aimee and we ask ourselves many questions we don’t have answers for, but we enjoy imagining answers to them.
    We go back for our last happy hour, Armando does his magic and presents us his layered cake. After dinner, we thank our porters and go to bed. Tomorrow the wake up call is at 02:50 because the porters need to catch the train at 04:30. This means they will be running in the dark with their loads on their backs.
