The Inca Trail - Day Two

This was our second day on the Inca Trail. We were woken around 05:30 am to "coca tea" (coca leaves in boiling water - according to our guide the perfect remedy for everything). The scenery just became more and more spectacular as we headed up Dead Woman's Pass at 4 200m. After that down a steep stepped descent just to climb again over another peak. Our guide, Virgilio, continued to impress us all with his extensive and self-researched knowledge of the Incas, the ruins and the surrounding areas.
