Part 3 of 4: June 30: Winay Huayna

Forget hiking. We’d had a hard 2 days of that so today all we did was pleasantly walked, ok hobbled (and shivered) our way to our 3rd pit stop at Winay Huayna. Here we hiked up another easy pass and saw the back of Winay Picchu, the tall mountain that rises above Machu Picchu in every postcard. While the thought of how close we finally were was fantastic, what was really truly absolutely fabulous about this day were the HOT SHOWERS! Yup that’s right, there are NO showers until you’ve reached the 3rd campground! And although the showers looked like the ones from 5th grade camp, there is no better treat than showering off all the sweat and grime and stink of a 3 day hike. Well, hmm, I take that back as the popcorn after the shower was pretty great. Can you tell Andrew and I loved our popcorn??? *hehe*
