Cusco - Plaza de Aramas Peru Countryside & Ollantaytambo Tipon Pisaq Cusco Overview & Saqsaywaman Machu Picchu Temple area & Rain Event

These pictures are for Rami, a beautiful woman who shared the sidewalk with us outside of our hotel in Lima. I hardly noticed she was there until I sensed her eye on Micah as he rode my back. She laughed and smiled at him and asked us what brought us to Lima. We both were from The States- she fro…

Pikillaqta - Ollantaytambo Ruins

Pikillaqta was the only non-Incan ruin I saw, and it was practically tourist free, which was great. It functioned as a park more than a 'tourist' destination so one really got to see everything. Pikillaqta was built by the Wari tribe that pre-dates the Incan empire and where many believe that the In…

The 'Other' Incan Ruins (part 1)

I struggled to not just focus on Machu Picchu because although it is beautiful and complete the other ruins have a lot to them... This one is Tipon: Tipon has one of the oldest functioning irrigation systems, it still funds the town below, also by the name of Tipon. There are U-squar…

Cusco (Peru) and the Surrounding Area

With children they sort of remind me of America in the 50's even though I wasn't alive, and by that I mean that African saying '…

Machu Picchu (or the day I found out my raingear doesn't work)

The Prototypical Shot of Machu Picchu To be honest, I thought that Machu Picchu was a bit over romanticized before I went. A gigantic, beautiful tourist trap, and it is that, but it is for a reason. It is one of the most complete examples of Incan way of life...and it is kind of mind blowing.…

The Hog

One of my more brilliant and stupid maneuvers was to rent a motorbike and take a stroll through Peruvian countryside which was absolutely beautiful...below are some encounters... It should be noted that while meandering through the countryside you may encounter: dogs that chase after…

A little journey to Peru

I didn't want yammer on about my trip and I wanted to surprise the Xangan public...so here you go. The first of many posts on Cusco, Peru and the surrounding Incan defunct empire. This is a picture of Pisac the town, looking at from Pisac...the Incan Ruin noted for its agricultural terraces.…

Skies over Pachacamac, Peru

We're so grateful to our friend, Martha, who set this up for us. Thank You, Thank-You!

El Bosque, Peru

One of the lovely things about visiting friends is that they give you their best. What a fantastic experience to stay in a bungalow overnight, try new fruits, learn to play bocce, swim, and horseback ride. What a contrast to the poverty seen all around. . . and a reminder to be grateful and to sha…
