Looking back. This was the last opportunity to see Phuyupatamarca. From here the path descends very steeply down large granite steps for a substantial way (500m according to one book, but I'm not sure where it's measured from. It feels much, much further! However it's measured, you can see from the graph that it's a pretty much unrelenting descent to Wiñaywayna 1500m, or so, down).
