... br><br> NOTE ABOUT CAMPSITES ON THE INCA TRAIL<br><br> Please note that we are not in control of the campsites we are issued with from the Institute of National Culture. In general your campsite allocation is dependent on how early you book, or rather, how many permits are left.

We got there just as they were closing the counters, to our amazement - apparently the plane was overbooked, and when it filled up it just went!!! <br>It didn't help that we argued we still had 50 ...

<br>Quando acordei de manha, a paisagem já era outra! <br>Acredito que já estava no estado de Cusco.<br>As montanhas agora eram cobertas de vegetaçao e havia casinhas rústicas nas encostas das montanhas! Algumas pessoas caminhavam pela estrada, as mulheres com aquela roupa que vemos na tv (a saia, o casaquinho, o chapéu, as trancinhas e um pano nas costas para carregas as coisas).
