We've got the bus thing down - 30 cents each for a short ride up the valley to Lamay.
3 hour very steep hike to Huchuy Ruins, an Incan royal estate in the early 1400s.
We only saw 1 other tourist - a guy from Chile.
Llamas hanging out on the terraces.
I gave these extremely sweet puppy siblings our fish skins and pork scraps from last night's dinner. They were not as bony as some of the pups in the big seedy town of Urubamba but they still scarfed the treats ravenously.
My own hunky Indiana Jones
We bushwhacked quite a ways up to another overgrown section of the ruins, a bad idea. We both got scratched up by nettles, cactus, and century plant barbs. I got grumpy. I also forgot to drink enough water and was tired from being at 13,000 feet. Oh, and we didnt take the time to eat much up there. So yeah, I did a lot of harrumphing to myself while Scott took a ton of pics. Nevertheless it was a spectacular spot and a great day!
Thank goodness for our poles - really helped today.
Corn harvest back on the valley floor
We saw a Patagonian Giant Hummingbird today at the hotel garden - it's nearly as big as a robin!
