Inca Trail: Day 2

They say this is the dry season, but it rained all day. The most difficult day was today, as we cleared a pass about 14,000 feet above sea level. It was snowing and very cold at the top, but the views were awesome. As I continued on the other side of the mountain, the rain temporarily stopped and the air was calm. This is one beautiful place, I thought. Then it started raining again.

I was cruising up the mountain today. I don´t know why, I just had a lot of energy. Because most of the hikers wre below me, I was hanging out with the porters along the way. On the way down, though, they put on a clinic. It was insane how they were traversing wet stones going downhill while running. They have no fear.
