    Hike in the Sacred Valley

    October 23, 2018 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    On our second day in Cusco, we decided to take a stroll to parts of the Sacred Valley.
    We actually bought a „boleto turistico“ for a day, but wouldn’t recommend it because of its high price. It‘s just not worth 70 soles.

    Nonetheless, we started our hike after a 30-minute Taxi drive to the first ruin „Puka Pukara“, continuing with „Tambomachay“.

    Although it rainend, we got lost in between and we were a little disappointed with the ruins, we had a great day hiking by ourselves in the wild nature and exploring the „temple of the moon“.

    We finished our day-trek with the ruins of „Q‘engo“ and „Saqsaywaman“, which were more impressive than the first two. Especially at „Saqsaywaman“, we had a nice view over Cusco.
