Day 4 on the Salkantay Trail included a steep hike uphill and downhill. The group began its adventure that day at La Playa (6,716 ft / 2,000 m) and hiking for three hours to the ancient Inca lookout of Llactapata (8,694 ft / 2,650 m). From Llactapata, they braved the steep trail downhill for two hours. It was here where Linda experienced another near-miss. Finally, the group arrived at Hidroelectrica (6,233 ft / 1,900 m) and boarded the train to Aguascalientes (6,692 ft / 2,040 m). Thus ended the camping portion of the trail to Macchu Picchu; the visit to the majestic palace would happen the next day.
