Salkantay Trek: Day 4

We woke up and all piled into a van to go Zip Lining over the Urubamba River at Cola de Mono. It was beautiful outside and zip lining with these views was spectacular. I had never zip lined before, so this was totally out of my comfort zone…but totally worth it! We got to go on 6 different lines, back and forth over the river. Rich and I both got to go face down, aka: Superman & SuperChica, and we were also able to go together on a line.

After the first line, waiting for the second.

Rich getting ready for the Superman!

Superman!

SuperChica!

So, as mentioned before: I wasn’t feeling well on this hike…and so it became a joke between everyone that we would give a run down of the toilets and encourage our group to go or to hold it. This was the view from the toilet at the zip lining place. Yeah…amazing! {and they even had toilet paper!}

After zip lining we rode in the bus for maybe 2 hours to the start of our last portion of the actual hike. We stopped for lunch and then hiked for a couple of hours into Aguas Calientes.

We got to the town of Aguas Calientes, we put our things in our room, met up with some of our group from a beer and then showered and headed to dinner.

We had dinner, got the run down for the next day: Machupicchu, and all headed off to bed. We were getting on the first bus from Aguas Calientes to enter Machupicchu when it opened to be there for the sunrise (and when it wasn’t so crowded)
