Salkantay trek (Day 3)

We spent most of Day 3 descending through sub-tropical rainforest and eventually ended up at a tiny place called La Playa (The Beach). La Playa is nothing like the beach and instead, is a small town with a collection of restaurants. It serves as a hub to ferry tourists coming off the Salkantay trek to another small town called Santa Theresa where there are gorgeous hot pools to soak in after a 3 day walk.

Kev getting more attention at La Playa.

Ingrid eventually convinced the little girl to have the tourniquet strapped around her with Kev attached to it. She then proceeded to parade around the village with Kev strapped to her for the next hour or so.
