Day 4: Wayllabamba to Pacaynayu

Today is a big day! The flora and fauna on this part of the trek are incredibly varied. You will see many birds, such as hummingbirds. Additionally, the plants and trees, such as the "Polilepys" or "Queuna" tree grow in an astonishing cloud forest located at 3650m/11972ft. You will feel a real sense of achievement reaching the top of "Dead Woman's Pass" today, which is an astounding 13,779ft. We will finish the day with a 2 hour descent into our campsite at Pacaynayu for a much needed rest. (B, L, D)
