Compared to the previous day, this day was almost relaxed. We crossed Victoria pass just after lunch and Serene started to have some mild problems with the altitude but was fine crossing the pass. I'm unsure how high Victoria pass actually is; Our guide said 4200 meters but I've other numbers on the web ranging from 4000m to 4800m. On the way up and down from the pass, we passed several abandoned mines (Minas Victoria) and Edgar brought us into one of them for a little bit. We camped at Yanama village. Yanama village is the most picturesque village that we saw during the trek. It's perched at the edge of a canyon with some spectacular views.
