Sorry it´s taken a while, we´ve seen some amazing stuff:
- the Nazca lines from the air in a little 4-seat plane - scary, brilliant fun, the lines were smaller than we expected, kind of like looking at those old ´magic eye´ pictures, they pop out at you... Ancient and still majestic though. Andy is fan.
- Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, where the enormous and majestic condors flew at 9am on the dot (as the guide book promised - weird!)
- Lake Titicaca which means ´stone puma.´ The floating reed islands where the Uros people live. Your feet sink ito the reeds and the islands are anchored so they dont move. Taquile Island on Lake Titicaca, where Quechua people have live for a 1,000 years, the men knit hats that can hold water and the women spin the yarn. The lake is at such a high altitude, walking up a couple of steps is a chore and you have to stop and catch your breath.
- Cusco, we arrived yesterday, stopping at Inca ruins on the way. Going to Ollayantambo, more Inca ruins today. Tomorrow, the 4 day, 3 night hike begins along the INKA TRAIL... We will finish the hike at Machu Picchu at sunrise on the fourth day when we arrive at Inti Punku, the Sun Gate.
Amy & Joe say: Hi! This country is so beautiful! You wouldn´t believe the mountains - stunning. Can´t wait to get to the grand daddy of them all - Macchu Picchu. Woo Hoo! See you all soon. :)
Hopefully some picture to come!
