Photographer’s Note
This is Peru and after three days of fairly hard treking on the Inka trial you start to get views like this.
The altitude was about 3500meters so its hard work walking and breathing but as you can hopefully see from this photo, its well worth it.
More Info- You can book up on the Inka trail while you are in Cusco but you will need upto four days to aclimatise to the high altitude and two days for the trail company to organise things.
the Cheapest company I seen for the four day trek was 180 USD and the most expensive was about 280USD, I paid 220USD and the service was perfect.
Remember the 4 day Inka trail which starts at the 83k mark is closed for repair and cleaning in febuary.

Breadthtaking view. Thanks for sharing. I wish it was taken with a wideangle lens, but it's still nice 'as is'.

Incredible shot, the clouds down below accentuate the height of the mountains
