                    Peru 2001 
                    Inca Trail 5:  
                    Phuyupatamarca 
                    ruins - Huinay 
                    Huayna ruins 
                     
                     
                      
                    Sun and rain create rainbows along our way. The scenery has 
                    changed and  
                    is now dominated by mountains covered with the green vegetation 
                    of the  
                    subtropics. 
                     
                     
                      
                    We are now close to Machu Picchu. Huayna Picchu, the mountain 
                    at Machu  
                    Picchu is already visible (the mountain in the middle, next 
                    to the river). 
                     
                     
                      
                    Another view down to the Urubamba valley.

                    A Mandavallia orchid.  
                     
                     
                      
                    The Conchamarca ruins. 
                     
                     
                      
                    The Huinay Huayna ruins close to our third campsite.  
                    In my opinion the most interesting ruins after  
                    Machu Picchu. 
                     
                     
                      
                    The precise stonework of the Incas at the Huinay Huayna ruins.
