On leaving Huacahuasi the route weaves through more local 'poblados', with glimpses of the Apu Pitusiray Nevada always in the background. Passing 4,800m the descent then weaves via Ipsaycocha lake, winding down the valley below heading towards Pataccancha. From here, it's onwards to Machu Picchu.

At the end of the trek, we finish near to a town called Ollantaytambo, at this point there are a couple of options.
Option 1 - Stay in Ollantaytambo and head to Aguas Calientes the following morning.
