About half of our group went back to Machu Picchu for a short visit and the other half of us stayed to visit the town. Matt and I were in the latter camp. I regretted it slightly. If Machu Picchu had been less crowded and I could have felt like I couldve just gone up and peacefully wandered for a bit Id have done it. But pushing your way betwee http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Cusco/Salkantay-Trail/blog-785817.html Last nights sleep was maybe the best of the trip for me even though we went to bed a little after 9 to get up at 5 for Machu Picchu.

Which means we were on the trail at 830. Matt and I got up a little earlier than we needed to though so we could walk around the outside of the lodge again. The fog rolled in so early yesterday that we did not get to take another look at it after first arriving. I didnt sleep well at all last night so I didnt mind getting out of bed. http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Cusco/Salkantay-Trail/blog-785811.html Day 3 of TrekHighest altitude reached 15213 This was it.
