This post is about the day that we visited the Sacred Valley. It is the area between Cusco and Machu Picchu that has many ancient Incan cities and ruins. This first picture is from our first stop where we fed llamas and alpacas. This picture is of Angela feeding a llama.
The next picture is from Pisac, one of the ancient Incan cities. This picture is from the main religious area of their city.
These 2 pictures are from Ollantaytambo, the next set of ruins that we visited. It is easier to see in these pictures the amazing stone work. Many of the stones were as large as this one that Chuck is beside and fit together so perfectly that there was no mortar!
This picture is from Chincheros, the last town that we visited. It is famous for its old church and also the ruins. The sun was setting and this made the ruins even more beautiful.
The last picture is of Salkantay, the largest mountain in the region at over 20,000 feet. It was rainy at times during our day, but the sky cleared and gave us a perfect view of this impressive peak.
