      Valle Sagrado

      21 Ağustos 2023, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      My second day in Valle Sagrado starts with a visit to the Moray ruins. My driver Walter takes me kindly to the ruins and then drops me off in Urubamba, from where I take a colectivo to my last stop Pisac. In Pisac I wander around the streets, shops and market until I decide to head up to the Pisac ruins. The views from the ruins are stunning and the long walk down to the village in the afternoon heat proves to be just enough activity for the day. After a short colectivo ride to Cusco, I rest a bit before going back to town where I meet a group of nice Colombians for drinks and dinner.Okumaya devam et

      Sacred Valley (5) - Pisac Ruins

      10 Haziran 2022, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      The Inca ruins lie atop a hill above Pisac Town - the central part is located on the very top, but other former buildings or sometimes rather piles of stones are scattered over the grassy land.
      Because of the atop position, the primary purpose of Pisac Ruins was to protect Cusco from possible attacks.

      Pisac - im heiligen Tal

      23 Kasım 2023, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      7 Tage tauchten wir ein ins Reich der Spiritualität, der Shamanen, der Inkas, der Ruinen, der Medizin, der Geister, der Rituale und der Wunder. Wenn Glaube Wunder erschaffen kann, dann nehmen diese in Pisac ihren Anfang.

      Wir öffneten uns den Energien dieses magischen Ortes im heiligen Tal der Inkas. Wir erlebten Wanderungen, Zeremonien und Konzerte, wir waren auf Workshops und bei Ritualen. Wir wurden aufgenommen in eine Gemeinschaft, wofür man bei uns Jahre bräuchte, wenn dies überhaupt möglich ist. Es geht hier viel um Gesundheit, um Medizin, um die Verbindung zur Natur um den Sinn des Lebens, auch um Selbsterkenntnis.

      Pisac ist ein Ort der ein Anfang oder das Ende einer langen Reise sein kann. Einer dieser wenigen Orte in der Welt, die so besonders sind.

      Písac

      24 Eylül 2022, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Nach 12 Std Fahrt kommen wir in Cusco an. Es ist hier deutlich grüner, kälter und grauer als in Arequipa. Dennoch gefällt uns die Stadt und das Umland auf Anhieb.
      Nach dem Frühstück versuchen wir, leider vergebens, Tickets für Machu Picchu zu ergattern. Während der letzten Wandertage im Canyon haben wir uns gegen eine geführte Wandertour zum Machu Picchu entschieden. Der Plan ist es mit zwei weiteren Deutschen den 5-tägigen Salkantay Trek auf eigene Faust zu planen und hoffentlich Tickets am letzten Tag vor Ort für Machu Picchu zu bekommen.
      Für uns geht es weiter ins Sacred Valley nach Písac, einem kleinen Hippiedorf.
      Wir schlendern über die Märkte und kleinen Gassen und freuen uns heute Nacht wieder ein Zimmer nur für uns in ruhiger Umgebung zu haben! Mit selbst gekochten Essen und gutem Weißwein lassen wir den Abend ausklingen.

    • Pisac, Peru. In the Sacred Valley

      16 Kasım 2019, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Sacred Valley. House:Casa Killaunu. Pisac Inca Site and town of Pisac

      We had breakfast around 7:30, eggs, fruit and granola. Kevin came and picked us up around 9:00 and we headed through Calca to Pisac another Inca site. We didn’t have much information before we left so we’re unsure of what the hike would be like. We drove to the top of where the buses could go, negotiating switchbacks and very bumpy roads. When we reached the parking area, we experienced the usual number of sellers with all their wares on display. We proceeded along the path to look at a map that seemed very complicated. Our goal was to visit the archeological sites located at the top of the mountain and then work our way down the mountain into the village below. We realized that because of the large number of people there and the vastness of the area, we would have to move at a bit of a pace to meet our driver in the village at 3:00.

      The Pisac ruins are among Peru’s most intact ancient sites, and a perfect example of ingenious Inca architecture. They are built on top of a mountain that towers over the small town of Pisac; the views of the countryside are spectacular, and the ruins were remarkable. The exact date of construction is unknown, but the ruins are believed to be either a gift to Inca nobility, or a defense against the invasion of Cusco. What is certain is that the site served more than one function. With military, religious, and agricultural structures, the site served at least three purposes and was able to support a whole community, even a small city, of Incas. The sweeping terraces are stunning to look at and are trademark of Inca agriculture that you find all over the Andean countryside. The Incas would grow their crops on the terraces to sustain their mountain-perched city. We decided not to use a guide and set off climbing upwards. It was fairly tough going as the steps were quite high and because it was Saturday there were lots of people going both up and down. We reached the summit of one area and then Gary, Karina and Don went up higher to try and figure out where we could pick up the trail that was supposed to take us back down. They decided we must have gone the wrong way, so we headed back down the way we had come up. Gary and Karina suggested that they really didn’t know where to go so we said we would head back to the parking lot and they would carry on trying to find the trail. We slowly walked back to the parking area and negotiated a price with a taxi driver to take us back down to the Pisac Market in the main square. This is where skilled artisans craft ceramics, textiles, and silver jewelry with Andean motifs, and where indigenous people from surrounding communities come to barter for goods in the local language, Quechua. They say that Sunday is the best time to see the market, but it was certainly interesting even on Saturday. We spent a couple of hours browsing the very large market and finally heard from Gary that they were almost back down off the mountain. As it turned out we made the right decision not to do the hike down. Gary and Karina were exhausted and said it was probably the toughest hike they had done. We found a small restaurant and ordered milkshakes, 3 Mango and 3 Chocolate. Lee took Karina and Judy to buy Christmas tree ornaments and then we wandered back through the market to find Kevin, our driver. The ride back was quiet as everyone was tired.

      We spent the afternoon transferring Gary and Karina’s pictures onto backup memory sticks using Lee’s MacBook computer. Then Gary set up on the large TV so we could see their pictures of our hike from the 104 km on the Inca Trail as well as our tour of Machu Picchu and the 2 hikes in the valley..
      Dinner tonight was cooked by 2 girls, the one who had helped Julian, our chef and another girl. We had a delicious tomato a soup, a beef dinner with rice, potatoes and everything was so good. They also gave us a big pitcher of warm pear juice. We have so much leftover we will have a great breakfast.

      Having our dinners cooked for us has been wonderful and they have all been traditional Peruvian meals. The dishes were all washed for us and we have felt totally spoiled.

      Tonight, we packed our cases as we will leave to go back to Cusco tomorrow morning. It seems a shame we can’t stay a few more days in this beautiful valley and very comfortable house.

      Sacred Valley, Cusco

      We visited the Sacred Valley on a day tour from Cusco. It was a long 12 hour day where we visited Chincherro, Moray, Maras salt mines, Ollantaytambo and Pisac. It was a fun day, but we wished we'd had more time to visit Ollantaytambo and Pisac.Okumaya devam et

      Pisssssssac

      7 Haziran 2023, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Cette nuit on était dans une chambre de 8 personnes avec des bons lits donc on a bien dormi et on a pu bien se reposer. On part prendre nos petit-déjeuner et ensuite on se prépare car ce matin Louis et Victor se rendent à Pisac pour visiter les ruines Incas tandis que Joseph reste à l'hostal pour préparer CV et lettre de motivation qu'il doit envoyer à l'école.

      La suite de cette matinée sera donc racontée par nos deux compères. En quittant l'hostal, on traverse la ville direction le quartier San Blas qu'on dépasse pour rejoindre le collectivo.
      Après un peu moins d'une heure de route, on arrive à l'entrée de la ville et sur le chemin on a pu observer quelques parties des ruines, bilan: il va falloir marcher.
      En effet, 500m de dénivelé et quelques kilomètres de marche nous attendent pour visiter l'ensemble de ces ruines. On va donc au départ et après avoir montré nos tickets, on se met en route.

      Directement, on rentre dans le dur. La première partie des ruines sont des terrasses qui étaient utilisées pour l'agriculture et qui s'étalent sur une bonne colline.
      Après ce flan de terrasses, on arrive sur un premier mirador qui nous permet de voir les ruines que l'on vient de dépasser ainsi qu'une bonne vue sur la vallée et la ville de Pisac. Malheureusement, il nous reste encore pas mal de montée à faire et avec la chaleur, ce n'est pas facile.
      On dépasse à nouveau des terrasses pour arriver sur quelques habitations, certainement des greniers ou des maisons. Mais on continue notre chemin pour atteindre le temple du Soleil qui est super bien conservé.
      On continue notre montée pour atteindre le point le plus haut du site avec un passage creusé dans la roche et une fois arrivé en haut, la vue est splendide.

      C'est l'occasion d'attaquer la descente et de finir la visite des ruines. On arrive sur une partie mieux conservés et certainement mieux développée car plus d'une dizaine de maisons surplombent d'immense terrasses.
      De l'autre côté, sur la montagne, on peut arriver à observer des trous dont la fonction était d'être des chambres funéraires qui abritent toujours des ossements humains.
      On finit de visiter les ruines et on emprunte un chemin qui nous fait redescendre à notre point de départ.

      Il est 12-13h donc on a faim et on se dirige tout naturellement au marché pour déguster des bons plats pas cher. Après avoir fait le tour du marché, on trouve notre bonheur et on se régale. On va ensuite prendre un jus de fruits et la dame préparant les jus nous régale : on s'attendait à un verre de jus, on doit avoir à peu près un litre.
      Repus, on se balade dans la ville direction le collectivo pour rentrer à Cusco et à peine arrivé qu'on trouve une place et c'est parti pour rentrer.

      Une fois rentré à Cusco, on a une bonne marche pour rentrer à l'hostal encore une fois. Arrivé sur la Plaza des Armas, des grandes fêtes ont lieux. Ces fêtes présentent un mélange entre traditions locales et influence chrétienne puisque des grandes statues à l'effigie de figures chrétiennes défilent dans la rue et sont rentrées dans la grande église de la place. Pour les traditions locales, des hommes et femmes avec des bonnets sur le visage, avec des fœtus de lamas accrochés dans le dos, se frappent avec des fouets. Des orchestres jouent aussi de la musique et on profite un peu de ces fêtes avant de rentrer à l'hostal.
      Une fois arrivé, on trouve les filles qui chill à l'hostal et on apprend que Joseph se balade en ville. Tous ont aussi pû assister aux différentes processions dans la ville pendant la matinée.

      On se pose un peu à l'hostal et chacun vaque à ses occupations. Joseph est toujours en ville, Louis appelle des amis et Victor part lui aussi en ville.
      Une fois tout ce beau monde rentré à l'hostal, on finit de se préparer car ce soir on prend le bus pour Arequipa. Mais avant de partir, c'est direction le bar. Joseph a rencontré un étudiant de notre école ce matin donc on lui dit de venir au bar et il s'avère que des français qu'on a rencontré plusieurs fois, Jean et Anaëlle, sont aussi à Cusco. C'est donc l'occasion de faire nos adieux, définitifs ceux-là autour d'une bonne bière.
      Mais l'heure tourne et le départ du bus se rapproche. On part donc un peu en speed du bar et on prend des taxis pour filer au terminal de bus.
      Juste avant de rentrer dans le terminal, on s'achète à manger, du poulet avec des frites et c'est bon on est prêt à partir. On rentre dans notre bus et zou, c'est parti pour 10h de bus direction Arequipa.

      Sacred Valley

      1 Nisan, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Another early morning meant that I had to drag myself out of bed and onto another shuttle. Luckily, this time, I would spend significantly less time on it and more time exploring sites. It started with a wool making demonstration completed by local women that shows how they obtain the wool and how they dye it using natural resources found in the area. We had some time to explore their store before getting back on the bus and heading for the Chinchero archaeological site. This was a kind of interesting site, mostly because it was one of the last sites to have been found by the conquistadors. Our guide explained that the locals are said to have destroyed all the paths to Machu Picchu and even burnt sections of their village. Showing they'd rather have nothing than let it get into he hands of the Spanish. Yet, it worked as Macchu Picchu remained undiscovered for hundreds of years thanks to their decision. We then made our way to Moray. Moray is an interesting site as it was a form of real-world laboratory that was designed to develop new strains of corn, maize, and potato's, as well as determine at what altitudes these strains grow best. The biggest challenge that faced the ancient Incas was the fact they had to be capable of growing their own food well above 2000m. This site showed they had strategically and pragmatically figured out the best crops for each environment. The result was over 900 varieties of corn and 2,500 varieties of potato. Though the Incas got a lot of the credit, once again the Wari and Nazca Empire had already developed similar strategies and technologies, the Incas just used this to develop their own understanding. Our final stop before lunch was the Maras Salt mine. This was a salt water spring that was found many centuries ago that is created from a large underground salt vein that water runs through before reaching the surface. As it springs to the surface, the ancient peoples of Peru managed to be able to effectively control the flow and ensure that they could extract the salt by letting in settle in tiny ponds. Unfortunately, it is not as pretty nor functional in the wet season when they salt water spring is contaminated by regular rain water, making the capturing of pure salt very difficult. Nonetheless, it was an interesting site to learn about and cool to see. The second to last site we saw was the Ollantaytambo ruins. They are situated along a mountainside, and so it was quite a brutal walk to the top. But, once there, the views of the 3 valleys that conjoin right at the site of the city, plus the adjacent city limits on the other hillside, made for an impressive and beautiful view. Before long though, we were running out of time and had to move to the Pisac ruins nearly 2 hours drive away. These were the best of the lot, however. The agricultural terraces with the royal residences at the top of the hill made for an amazing site. Conversely, the view of the view of the poorer areas of the city from near the palace was also incredible. Unfortunately, our tour guide spoke for too long when we arrived, and as we tried to enter the palace, they had closed it. I'm not sure why he didn't do his little speech inside the grounds, but it was frustrating to miss out. We could explore the rest of the ruins, but the royal palace at the top of the hill would have had the best views. After this, it was time for the long journey home where we had a brief stop to witness a jewellery demonstration and once again have an opportunity to explore their store. By this point, though, we were all tired and ready to go home, so we didn't stay for long. Once home, we had a very easy evening and had an early night, and tomorrow, we would finally get a sleep in.Okumaya devam et

      Quad, ruines et salineras

      10 Haziran 2023, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Samedi on va faire du quad dans une ruine inca!!! Fin pas vraiment dedans mais on va la voir en quad. A 13h, après 1h30 de route on enfourche les quads pour aller à Moray, un site inca avec des terasses ou on nous explique qu’ils ont fait ca pour cultiver différents aliments parce qu’a chaque marche le climat est différent. La route en quad est trop belle, on va vite et c’est super. On fait une pause ou le guide nous prend en photo et camille monte sur mon quad, on est ridicules mais ca fait un souvenir. On arrive ensuite à Moray et c’est très très beau. Après 30 mins on reprend les quad pour retourner au point de départ et prendre le bus pour aller aux salineras de Maras. C’est absolument magnifique, il y a pleins de petites piscines de sels, qui appartiennent uniquement aux habitants d’ici. Ils cultivent donc différents types de sel parce que dans une piscine il y a 3 couches de sel différentes, gros ou fin, avec plus ou moins de minéraux. C’est vraiment super et trop beau. On rentre à Cuzco, je suppose qu’on a encore du boire des pisco et on s’est couché tot pour la journée du lendemain.

      Dimanche c’est réveil aux aurores, on part pour visiter encore deux sites de ruines incas, d’abord Pisaq puis Ollantaytambo. Les deux ruines sont tres sympas mais il y a beaucoup de monde, on en apprend un peu plus sur comment vivaient ce peuple et surtout qu’ils enterraient des gens dans les montagnes, pas hyper pratique.
      Le soir on va à Aguas Calientes, la ville la plus proche du machu pichu!!! C’est une petite ville entre les montagnes qui ne contient que des hotels et restaurants. C’est super mignon mais on a pas trop le temps de visiter donc on mangera juste un bout.
