The Sacred Valley

We left Cusco city today with a very small tour group going down the mountain into the valley toward Machu Picchu. On the way we saw lots of farming, alpacas & Incan ruins. 

Tonight we are staying in Ollytatambo which is one of the ancient Incan cities still inhabited in its original city walls. The in and had running water in their cities! There is running water in canals on almost every street. I can hear the water right outside the room…how peaceful.

Today we climbed up to the Temple of the Sun. The seasons were read by where the sun rose over the mountain. The Incans worshipped the sun, the water, the earth and the rainbow because of their gifts & beauty the bought the earth. 

Tomorrow we are off to Machu Picchu….a dream come true.
