Day 3 is a walk in the park after day 2. From the cloud forest we descended into the jungle on a nice gradual slope on a smooth dirt road. From the peak of our hike the day before, we would ultimately descend about 8 thousand feet. Hot! Oxygen! Mosquitos!
After our 14k hike we arrived in a small town where the cooks fed us really well yet again. From here a bus picked us up and drove us 21k to Santa Teresa where would set up camp on the second floor if a half built cinder block structure. Great views from here. We quickly set up our tents and headed to the natural hot springs. This place was amazing. Pools ranged from mid 80's to mid 90's. There was no sulfur smell. And right next to them was the rushing Urubamba river. I have never seen or heard of a river this strong. It was nothing but massive rapids jumping and churning all the way down and across the river. After a few hours melting away here we went back to camp, ate dinner, and capped off the great day wIth a bonfire and a couple beers. Good times!
