At long last, here are some pictures from our April trip to Peru!
En route from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo (Oy - yan - tie - tom - bow)
On the streets of Ollantaytambo - the streets, walls, and many of the living spaces were built by the Incas
Exploring the ruins of Ollantaytambo
There were many stray dogs. This is Brownie, he was our tour guide and well loved by the girls
Farming steppes
Our personal garden at Hotel Iskay
Preparing to take the train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu
Views of Machu Picchu
Portions of the water distribution system are still functional
One of the most perfect examples of the Inca stone perfection
Alpaca wandering round the ruins
When we left the hotel in the morning, the weather appeared unsettled, so we brought umbrellas. Unfortunately we set them down to take a picture and left them behind. Surprisingly, the very nice park attendants tracked us down...and had some fun as well.
Central plaza in Cuzco
On the balcony of Choco Museo
We had a "Bean to Bar" chocolate making experience at Choco Museo. We learned quite a lot about where cacao is grown and the history of chocolate. We also ended up with many yummy treats!
One wall of our hotel room was an ancient Inca wall.
