Colectivos, Lamas and Inka Ruins

Yesterday was spent riding colectivos and exploring the ruins of Pisac and Ollantaytambo.

I got to practice my spanish as the elderly lady who sat next to me in colectivo nr. 1 used the one hour ride to tell me everything about her daughter who moved to Norway a year ago -> The short version: She likes it there but it's freaking cold.

Shared a cab up to the Pisac ruins (first 3 pictures) with two other travellers and ended up tagging along for the day.
First, to the local market for an authentic Peruvian menú, followed by two more colectivo rides to reach Ollantaytambo.

Unsurprisingly, colectivo quality varies widely, from cars that should not be allowed to move on any street, ever, at all, to quite luxurious new mini vans. We got a taste of the whole spectrum ✌️

In Ollantaytambo we visited the remains of the sun temple (5-6), followed by my personal highlight of the day: a close-up Lama encounter 😀

Did you know that all Lamas in a herd will always poop in the same spot, and only there?
Well, now you know 🧠!
