fields of cypresses trees, all made into figures, statues, etc. Wonderful. You will be pretty impressed. For those who are travelling to Columbia, the plaza from where the minibusses go to the border, it is just one block away from the cementerio. Peru Don't have too much information, because I think the information is well written in the different tour books about Peru. So only a few things: Salkantaytrek to Machu Picchu I have walked the Salkantaytrek to get to Machu Picchu. This is a nature trek. It is a very nice and rather beautiful five days hike, with on the fifth day Machu Picchu. First day is only climbing, second day last 600 meters to get to the 4600 meter pass, after that it is only downhill in a rather impressive valley. The third day you will walk untill 13:00, then after lunch you will be transported by car to the village where you sleep. In the afternoon it is time to relax in the hotpools. In the morning of the fourth day you will walk in a big valley, in the afternoon along the railroad to Aqua Calientes. All together a very pleasant and rather beautiful hike with great nature. The village Aqua Calientes has only overpriced restaurants, hostels and hotels. Price for Salkantaytrek includes breakfast (except first day), lunch and dinner (except 5th day), place to sleep in Aqua Calientes, small diner in Aqua Calientes, entrance to Machu Picchu, transport back to Cusco.
