Inca Trail ~ Day 2

Hola penguins!

As I write this, Audrey and I are laying next to each other in a tent, in the middle of the Peruvian jungle, wearing matching lama sweaters. We woke up at 5am to eat breakfast and watch our hiking partners absolutely house some food, before we started one of the hardest hikes I have ever completed. We walked over Dead Woman’s Pass which stands at 4215 m above sea level. The hike consisted of about 5 hours of steep uphill climbing with little to no oxygen. Imagine doing the 12-3-30 but like 18-1-300 while wearing an altitude training mask. Have no fear, we both absolutely killed it, it did hurt, like a lot, but none the less we made it to the top!! The entire hike had amazing views and it is hard to believe we are in such a beautiful place. We had lunch with our guide and hiking family, took a nap, had dinner and went straight to bed.
