Day 6 – Chaullay to Lucmabamba

Today was an “easy” relative flat 12 miles walk. I used my hiking sandal to let my toe nail get some relief. The walk was mainly through the jungle and we enjoyed great vistas an unique vegetation, like the “forever young Orquídea”. It got this name because if blooms year round and it always has a new flower at the end of the stem.

The vegetation change was interesting to observe with the elevation change from 9500 ft to about 6500 ft

We got to our destination and took the the time to go to the thermal waters, which was a wonderful thing. The chef prepared a fantastic dinner, including a cake without having an oven and we found beers to wash it down.

Tomorrow is another 12 miles to Aguas Calientes and the first part includes a significant steep down hill
