Friday
We are allowed to sleep in which is lovely after the long journey.
We have breakfast which is included, but the bread today is by far my favourite. More dense and filling.
Today we start a loop trip going up into the mountains and to acclimatise for the Macho Picchu.
The area has a lot of mountains and some volcanos and it's a beautiful day for viewing them. We wind into the hills and stop for a break and tea supposed to help with altitude.
There are ladies making alpaca clothing. It looks very cozy and warm. We see alpacas and their smaller relations. We climb to the highest yet about 4900 metres. We then wind our way slowly down the mountain and see crops and pastures. They mostly grow grains and especially quinoa. We arrive in Chivoy are walk to our hostel. We then go out for a late lunch about 4.30 which ends up being dinner as well. We love the flat garlic bread and quinoa soup. After the meal we walk around the markets and then early to bed.
