Lunch day 3/Campsite

The path to lunch was mercifully shallow. Our arrival at camp was somewhat of a unknown quantity however - it was where we were supposed to be camping too. This would mean the following morning a 2 hour hike straight down before 2 more on to Machu Picchu. Our guide hoped we could complete the first two after lunch and camp further on; sadly this was not possible meaning our wake up tomorrow would be 2.30am

After lunch, Ben and I hiked down a little from our camp to the Phuyupatamarka ruins. As we had the whole afternoon we were able to explore at leisure taking in the stunning valley in which we were staying.

We watched the sun set from 3600m at camp, although the clouds did their best to stop us before retiring for a very early night.
