We navigated our way to 4910m above sea level to the top if The Andes. Here we saw lots of llama and alpaca, plus lots of outcrops of stones which various people before had left. Three stones were stacked on top of each other having buried 3 perfect coca leaves in the ground- then you could make a wish.
In the distance we could see the mountain which signifies the start of the Amazon river- a single wooden cross marks the spot.
The coca leaves certainly helped with the altitude, although still feel a little light headed.
We are now at the hotel for this evening about to go for a quick walk before heading to the hot springs! We then go for dinner at a local place where they have live music, dancing and lots of alcohol, no doubt! ....ok, not much alcohol- we were all too tired plus it's a 5am start tomorrow.
