The gift shop at the end of the universe. The local Quechua people sell some products here, such as knitted woolens made from Alpaca.
The views of Salkantay Mountain fade as we descend on the other side of the pass, but there is still a lot to see if you look up and around.

No cars out here - things move via pack animal while on the Salkantay Trail. Here, it's propane. The horses are not roped together, so give them lots of room.
More pack animals pick their own path - this time it's firewood that they're carrying.
Don't forget to look up and around - the views from the Salkantay Trail are amazing in every direction.
You'll really be hiking by this point in the Salkantay Trail!
The landscape becomes more stark but no less beautiful along this section of the Salkantay Trail.
