rest day at soraypampa

we hadn´t planned on taking a rest day so soon, but the night before our stove broke and couldn´t be fixed. we used an arierros´ stove the night before to cook our dinner, but we didn´t want to climb to higher altitudes with a broken stove. i have to admit for myself that i was already a bit tired and could use a day of lounging and stretching after the first full day of trekking. early in the day kevin fixed the stove and we went about cooking and lounging around in what was, in retrospect, our most beautiful campsite. the first picture is the view of salcantay, the mountain we were planning to pass the next day. the second picture is a local house in the shadow of humantay.
