Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru from an as yet unnamed band! She is nameless, because so far all the participants have not managed to meet together and come up with a name.

Today, the second part of our group was not without adventures, but still, to our great joy, we reached Cuzco.

The advanced part of the group, after watching the Independence Day parade in the morning, moved closer to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to spend the night in the most unusual and most extreme hotel - in capsules nailed to the rocks.

To be precise, we have two hotels. Half of the group stayed at the Sky Lodge, which is a more modest hotel in terms of conditions. But to get to the place of accommodation, you have to go through a difficult path along Via Ferrata, overcoming various obstacles for an hour and a half.

The other half of the group stayed at the Star Lodge. Here, the path to the capsules on the rocks is not so extreme. But the accommodation is more comfortable and there are barrels of hot water in which it is so great to steam with a view of the valley. And although Via Ferrata is not difficult, it still leaves an unforgettable impression.

Especially when you return to your house on the cliff after dinner in the dark.

A very interesting and unforgettable experience.

I hope that tomorrow our team will finally get together and we will go on a tour of the Sacred Valley, and then take the train and go to Machu Picchu.
