The big day we've all been anticipating with trepidation because we are going to hike up over the Salkantay Pass at 15,000 ft. elevation. After an early start, we will hike up the Rio Blanco valley, circling the two towering peaks of Humantay and Salkantay
.
At the pass, we will stop to take in the panoramic views of the snow capped peaks of the Vilcabamba Range. I, again, mount the horse becaus
e I'm having difficulty breathing....and movement feels as though I'm
in slow motion.
The trail keeps climbing.
The sign that is proof we climbed to 15,253 ft. altitude!!!!!
Wayra Lodge (Wayra means Wind). Tonight we star gaze as David' explains the different constellations that can be seen in the southern hemisphere. There is no light pollution from civilization because we are so isolated. The stars are a dense show of crystals in the night sky!
