Day 6 - Near Totora (3700 m / 12150 ft) to Totora (3500 m / 11500 ft) to Collpapampa (Winaypoco) (2800 m / 9200 ft)
The remaining days of the trek are significantly easier than the previous days. Edgar told us that the Salkantay to Machu Picchu trail joins our trail at Collpampa. We had an easy hike through Totora village, descending down to the Collpampa where we had lunch. There was a hot spring nearby but only the guide and Mihaela took the steep trail down to it. We camped at Winaypoco, which is about an hour from Collpapampa where there is a beer hut (since the Salkantay trail is more popular than the one we took) but it is only open during the high season.
