Saqsaywaman |
Family of four from Nelson, BC, Canada traveling in Peru, Guatemala, and Belize, Jul-Dec 2012. Highlights in Peru include learning Spanish in Arequipa, hiking in Colca Canyon, exploring Puno and Lake Titicaca, visiting Machu Picchu, and attending Kusi Kawsay, an Andean school in Pisac in the Sacred Valley near Cusco. Guatemala destinations are Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Xela, volunteer teaching in Nebaj, and Tikal, while in Belize we're on the beach in Hopkins and in the jungle near San Ignacio.

Saqsaywaman, Q'enqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay
From Iain: Today we went on a day trip to the four Incan ruins closest to Cusco: Saqsaywaman, Q'enqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. We caught a bus to the site closest to Pisac, Tambomachay, and then walked towards Cusco from one site to the next. With exploring the ruins, picnicking along the way, and taking a little bit of an unnecessary detour, this took us most of the day. After all the Incan ruins we've seen during our time in Peru, some tourist fatigue must be setting in because we were all a little jaded with today's sites. That's not to say that parts of Saqsaywaman weren't pretty impressive.
