The first half of the second day included lots of views like this one of a porter struggling up the stone steps of the (reconstructed) Inka Trail. There were several notable hummingbirds rendesvouxing with the flowers but none would hold still long enough to provide a nice photo.


Elephant making friends with some shaggy burros while Raccoon laughs in the background.


Bobcat retrieving his favorite hat from the disastrous jaws of a marauding donkey. Just look at the distain in that thing's eyes! It was out for blood I tells ya!


Kingfisher takes a swig of Andean agua as she heads ever higher towards Dead Woman's Pass. The more I write that name, the less fond of it I become. (The name of the pass, not the person...)


There´s more than one way to help the sweat dry from your matted fur at the highest poinnt on the Inka Trail.
