Day 3B - Peru: Sacred Valley Tour

Well after 2 hours zip lining from top to bottom we were dropped off 7minutes away in the town square of Ollantaytambo for a tour of a MUST see Incan historical archeological site.
My phone was dying so not so many pix. 
2 of our 3 generation posse had had enough for the time being... :) 
Soooo, I solo climbed to the top of the one of the most spiritually and politically important Inca sites. 
Zoom in and you can see "storage or jails or schools or...historians aren't 100% sure what they were for, but amazing just the same! 
Ever so thoughtful construction with the sun, moon, rocks and water as guiding principles. 
Awing how much of the Incan villages and Temples still survived the Spanish destruction. 

Try lunch at La Esquina Bakery on the square! Good food and great value. 

Our fading posse took an abbreviated tour of this site and Chincheros, the center of weavers, where we visited to see how they traditionally made their textiles. 

After another 13 hour day we are back at Casa San Blas for our regroup, repack and much needed showers!
I leave for the inca trail at 5:00am and the girls leave for Puno at 6:30am.
No rest for the weary! And no blog for a few days! Ciao.
