So Tuesday we were up bright and early and we arranged for a private taxi to take us from Cusco to a city called Maras and then to Moray. As I mentioned, Cusco is 3300m high, however to get to Maras, we climbed to 3900m . . . the first picture is us at 3900m. It was crazy, it felt like you were part of the sky. Moray is an Incan agricultural labratory that was likely used to cultivate different plants high in the Andes. The ruin is HUGE, we walked down and around it but it´s so massive it´s hard to get a picture that captured it. Our next stop was Salinas which is where salt has been made since the Inca time down until today. It was really neat to see and you could walk through it. There were 4,000 of these pools that made salt, it was amazing! Our taxi then dropped us in a city called Ollayantambo and we took the Peru Rail train to Aguas Calientes which is the city where you catch the bus to go to Machu Picchu. Aguas Calientes is only accessible by train and so the ride there was amazing. The next morning we were up bright and early and headed to Machu Picchu It´s really hard to get a picture that captures what is looks like and to think that the Inca´s use to walk from Cusco to Machu Picchu through this terrain but hopefully we caught a few that will do it justice. There´s much to tell you about Machu Picchu but I will leave that for another time! Enjoy the pics!
