Salkantay trek continued... — Lisa's (& Steve's) Travels

This felt like a really easy day, with hiking 6 miles in 4 hours - all downhill. We've gotten into a lot of green hills, flowers and butterflies. Our lodge is very isolated, and we reached it at noon, to have the whole afternoon off to sit in the sun, nap or learn how to make a pisco sour.

Our last look at the back side of Humantay peak

Just one species of many orchids that we saw

One of many types of butterflies, on their favorite background (donkey poo)

Just a small portion of the trail (with all the vegetation we're loving now)

We finished the afternoon learning about pisco and how to make a pisco sour, and I volunteered to try my hand at bartendering. Little did I know that I had to don an authentic Peruvian hat...
