SO, as promised....a few more pics covering the Jungle Trek through the Cloud Forest and Highland Jungle on the way to Machu Picchu....BUT, before the pics...one more thing...
I LOVE going off the beaten path....on our way from Santa Maria to Santa Teresa, after our white water rafting adventure, we stopped at a place called the Yellow River...it's an amazing B&B in the middle of the cloud forest next to the Urubamba river in Quellomay...right off the Inca Trail on the way to Machu Picchu...we stopped there for lunch and had the most amazing food on the trip.....
it's run by a local Peruvian family and the husband is a British expat, so they speak english,...they also have a 3 year old daughter, Maya, who is absolutely adorable ;) No pics though, so you'll just have to see for yourself....
Here is a link to the Yellow River -

Hey Ben, just came across your blog on some random search for our place on google. Thanks for such a lovely endorsement, it was great to meet you and we wish you all the best in your studies and the future. Our new website is quellomayo.co.uk if you fancy checking it out. We're slowly making a name for ourselves but there's a lot of competition using the terms "Machu Picchu" out there :) I'm learning about adwords etc. a new world believe me. Thanks for helping us become more visible, it's a nice thing to do.
