Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo

Packed up all the gear for the r day Machu Pichu hike and travelled to Ollantaytambo via Sacred Valley.
The incas believed that the river that runs through the valley mirrored the milkyway which is why it was sacred.
Saw a lot of old inca temple ruins and infra (terracing on this hills) which was really cool.
Along the way we visited a women's weaving community and learnt about how they made yarn from the alpacas, llamas etc including the dye and how the project they are a part of helps with eduction and betterment of the community...
I think we all bought something from the work they do.
We also stopped off at a brewery - got to love a bit of day drinking... and yer, tried a local dish - guinea-pig... there is a photo somewhere I'll upload if it isn't too grim!Weiterlesen
