Cuzco-Juliaca-Capachica / Incatrail day 4
At 8.30 the group met in the hotel and we started our journey to Capachica on the Titicaca lake. Our first stop was “Vicuñita”, where we could take great pictures of Alpacas, Lamas and Vicuñas. We continued to the pass “La Raya”. This pass constitutes the border between Cuzco and Puno in 4334 m. Juliaca was our next stop. The city seemed very dusty. It is located close to the Titicaca lake. About 4 hours later we arrived at Tomas’ house. It is located on the Capachica peninsula. On Capachica the most important villages are: Santa Maria, Llachon and Chifron. 4 days Incatrail: Today we had to get up at 4 o’clock in the morning to arrive at the sun gate of Machu Picchu at 7. Because of yesterday’s party many of our group were a little bit groggy. In addition it rained almost all of the climb. However, the view from the son gate over Machu Picchu was worth it. We went to the main entrance where we got a stamp into our passports. Eventually, after a 2 hour guided tour through Machu Picchu we had to say goodbye to our nice group. In the afternoon we got back to Cuzco in bus/train/car where we could remember the last 4 days of Incatrail and look forward to the upcoming
