Hiking down from HuaynaPicchu Mountain

This is one of the most exposed sections of this hike. It normally takes one hour to get back to MachuPicchu Ruins (top left on this picture). There is a vertical elevation loss of 1,000 ft./300 m. meters to the ruins and 2,100 ft./700 m. to the river at the base of the valley.

Alpacas in the Peruvian Andes

Unforgettable moments: Silence at high altitude (13,400 ft / 4,000 meters), the only existing sounds are: The wind from the snowcapped mountains and alpacas grasping "ichu" grass as we walk.
