Resfebern som brukar komma ganska nära inpå avresan har inte gjort sig tillkänna än.
Vanligtvis kommer den krypande ett par dagar i föreväg. Nu är det 17 dagar kvar.
Jag har börjat lägga fram kläder och reseprylar som kan vara bra att ha med sig på vandringen.
Det kvarstår dock att handla in till reseapoteket magtabletter,alvedon etc. Träning har det inte blivit allt för mycket av i sommar. Jo, jag springer men att gå med ryggsäck i terräng har det inte blivit mycket av. Jag hade sett fram till ett par fina jaktdagar nu innan vi åker men det ser dåligt ut.
Det står att läsa i resedokumenten att: Include high altitude hiking of up to 8 hours/day or other activities that require a moderately high level of fitness.
Jag ska ska lägga upp på bloggen, efterhand vad allt kostar. Bara flygbiljetten till Lima givk på 11.000,-NOK.
För den som undrar hur vår resa ser ut har jag gjort en liten förkortad version här.
De första 3-4 nätterna utforskar vi Lima och åker sedan vidare till Cusco för att aklimatisera oss till höjden.
LaresTrek till Machu Picchu
Day 1 Arrive Lima
There are no planned activities so check into our hotel and enjoy the city.
Day 2 Cuzco
Spend the day relaxing and exploring fascinating Cuzco.
Our best advice for exploring Cuzco is to wear a comfortable pair of shoes, arm yourself with a city map and set off to explore!
Day 3 Sacred Valley / Ollantaytambo
Travel with our local guide through the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
The town and fortress of Ollantaytambo are strategically situated overlooking the beautiful Urubamba River Valley. We spend the night in this small town before heading out for the start of the hike the next morning.
Day 4-6 Lares Trek
Day 4:
An early morning start (6am)
Cuncani, our destination for tonight. From our campsite, we will have stunning views of snow-capped Colque Cruz.
Day 5:
After pausing to admire our surroundings in the early morning mist, we will proceed around Sondor Mountain to a high pass (an altitude of 4440m), from which we
will have great photo opportunities: scenic Huacahuasi Lake and snow-capped Veronica Mountain (amongst others!) are visible from the path.
We resume our hike upstream to the second pass, Ipasayqocha (4550m)
Day 6:
Today we will have ample photo opportunities: our gentle path is covered in Andean flora, and animals such as llamas and alpacas are fairly commonplace. If
we’re lucky, we might even catch a glimpse of Andean geese, puna ibis.
Bus to take us to Ollantaytambo, we catch the train for an incredibly scenic ride to Agua
Calientes, where we will spend the night in a hotel.
Day 7 Machu Picchu
Rise early to take advantage of viewing Machu Picchu in the early morning light, opportunity to climb Wayna Picchu, providing the chance to see Machu Picchu and its surroundings from a more exclusive vantage point.
In the afternoon we return by train to Ollantaytambo or Poroy and will then be transferred by van to Cusco, arriving in the evening.
