Day 2 , Top of Warmiwanusca Pass, Inca Trail

I only took a couple pictures on Day 2, regretfully. We climbed over 4700 feet up to ascend this pass which was at 4198 meters (roughly 14,000 feet). This picture was taken around the noon hour. It was an exhilirating climb with amazing scenery. The lush greenness above treeline was quite rewarding. It was also noticeable that the vegatation along this hike was becoming more and more jungle like, even at these altitudes; a change from the other drier areas of Peru we had recently visited. Below this pass we dropped a couple thousand feet to our second camp, where we had a quick lunch, tea time, and then an enjoyable chicken dinner. Also in this picture are a couple of our travelling companions from Australia and The Netherlands.
