Sacred Valley- Inca Citadel Pisac

Today we left Cuzco for the Sacred Valley. Wow! How beautiful the mountains are here. We were quite taken back at the spectacular scenery. It ranks right up there with the Himilayas. Our first stop was an llama farm with several different types of llamas, alpacas. We all got to feed them some grasses. Then we learned how they dye the wool with natural dyes and what to look for in the authentic colors and weaving. After checking into a guesthouse in Pisac and some lunch with Kris and his friend, we got in a taxi and drove way up to the tops of the mountains. We were dropped off at an Inca Citadel. This was a definite N. in the Ergo carrier hike. We were not totally prepared mentally for these cliff ruins. But we endured. Our little Nootch T is an awesome hiker. She´s quite a sure footed little thing! Again, the scenery was fantastic, the views amazing, the altitude crazy. We are glad to eat some tastey empanadas and relax tonight. Tomorrow we will move on further through the valley.
