Remembering Peru

Day one: Lima
Magical Churro-like things.


Picture that could have been taken anywhere but it was taken in Lima. Look how happy we are.


Day two: Cuzco


On the way to Cuzco, Mike slept in the airport using every item of clothing we brought as a blanket.


Overlooking Cuzco.

Day three: Pisac & Urubamba


Pisac. And how cool is Katie's hat? So fancy.

Pisac.

Pisac.

We spent the next two nights in magical eco lodge called Las Challpus where there are ruins with wild calla lilies.



And they let us use the kitchen to make our own dinner out of the wonderful produce in the town market.




The whole place was whimsically decorated with random reclaimed materials.


Day four: Moray & Salt Mines



Day five: Ollantaytambo


On the way to Ollantaytambo, we stopped at a festival in Chinchero and ate a wonderful lunch.


The ruins in Ollantaytambo are right above the town. It was quite dramatic.



We also hiked to some ruins a few miles away and had them all to ourselves.


Day six: Machu Picchu


Machu Picchu was a spectacular capstone to our wonderful trip.
