Before i move on from South America i wanted to do a second post on the landscapes that i have encountered on my travels so far. For a good lot of the third day on the Inca trail the mountains were shrouded in low lying cloud which concealed the landscape behind however when it cleared in the afternoon i was amazed and humbled by the greatness of the valleys that stretched out before me. This happened all the time in South America and as i said before, i was blown away by the continent!
