Today was our last hike before discovering Machu Picchu tomorrow. It has been a long day first hiking up 2,300 feet to Llactapata Pass and then hiking down several thousand feet over very slippery trail to catch the train to Aguas Calientas.

This is a view as we head up to the pass. Most of the morning was more shrouded in clouds.

WE passed one archeological site. Here I am with Juan de Dios.

This is another part of the site with walls that have not been restored. Here the Incas used mortar.

Our lunch spot for today. We had a delicious avocado salad and wonderful local  trout.

From our lunch spot, we saw nothing but clouds.

Even with some break in the clouds, we can't see Machu Picchu today.
