The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu

I am recovering from 4 days following the trail that the Incas built hundreds of years ago. I had to get up in the dark every morning and walk for hours and hours, My paws got very sore and there was no honey at all :( The mountains were huge and the highest point we crossed was 4,200 metres! We passed lots of prickly pear plants. The local people make cochineal from white stuff found on the leaves. Do you know what cochineal is?
