After hiking over the Warmiwanusga Pass we descend several thousand feet
before hiking up to the ruins of Runquracay where we camp. This is a
difficult day with about 4,000 feet of elevation gain. 

 We will pass numerous ruins and walk through lush cloud forests along
cobblestone pathways made by the Incas. We make camp at the ancient ruins of
Winay Wayna. This is a fabulous day with good walking, interesting ruins,
great views of the Veronica Range, the massive peak of Salcantay, and the
wild rapids of the Urubamba River.

 After an early start, we hike to Machu Picchu, fortress city of the ancient
Incas. Here we discover sundials, follow the ingenious water system of the
city, and marvel at the Inca stonemasonry. After exploring the ruins we
catch the afternoon train back to Cusco. This is one of the world's classic
train rides and a great way to end our adventure.
