We headed out of Cusco through the winding narrow roads of the city with construction sites everywhere. Wharton we have found out is the locals are never finished building because of the costs of materials etc and the situation where they have to pay hefty taxes on completion. Dogs everywhere are contented, friendly and socialised. Apparently most have families and come home for dinner but are free to roam throughout the day. With the busy traffic it's interesting to see them looking both ways and going for the gap...Have only seen 2 that didn't make it in our whole trip.
Textile centre and showing us how they use alpaca.
On the hills above Cusco - more archeological sites. Martin can remember the name of this one. Sounds like Sexy woman.
In the Sacred valley. A really comprehensive agricultural, fortification and religious structure. 27 storeys!
View from the top. Olle... Will look it up. :-)
Our lovely hotel at yuk any was a paradise.
Train trip to the village below Machu Pichu
In the bus heading up the switchbacks . Actually the road was terrific. Paced with concrete set with stones on the corners and sneaky wider bits to pas on.
Made it and it really is amazing,
As you can see it may have rained unexpectedly. My hair emulating the peak behind but it was a great evperience. Would have been good to have another day here to explore.
Cape gooseberry snack on the train back to Cusco.
