    Toured the Inca ancient walled complex Sacsayhuaman in Cusco. Still left wondering how they moved and shaped these giant rocks. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[224]
         		 After lots of slicing and dicing we finished making our dish and Danielle still has all her fingers. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[225]

         		 Chocolate making class in Cusco, Peru.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[215]
         		 Great vibe to the town of Aguas Calientes. Trains and buses roaring down the middle of the streets require you to always look both ways before crossing. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[205]

         		 Of all the stray dogs we've seen roaming around South America this one is hands down my favorite. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[187]
         		 After Machupicchu we waited for the train back to Cusco and killed some time watching men roll around on the ground holding their shin. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[184]
         		 On our way up Waynapicchu's
     
    The top of Waynapicchu with a killer view of Machupicchu. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[193]

         		 Puno floating village: by pauluiza, Views[447]
         		 Once you get here it's pretty easy to see why Machupicchu is listed as one of the seven wonders of the world. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[234]
         		 If you use your imagination you can see a condor. This area is called Altar of the Condor and is where sacrifices were performed. . : by danidawnandstevo, Views[239]
     
    The clouds make it look very mystical. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[212]
         		 We spent a few hours at the hot springs soaking before we leaving for Santa Teresa. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[140]

         		 The stairs to Machupicchu. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[201]
         		 Made it Machupicchu. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[213]
     
    Just one of the many other ways to cross the river. This contraption was by far the strangest. A cart that uses a zip line to get to the other side. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[162]
         		 After the final river crossing, through the bat infested tunnel to the well deserved hot springs. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[159]
         		 Cross at your own risk. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[190]
         		 Day 1 of a four day adventure to Machupicchu included mountain bike riding, white water rafting, zip lining and of course hiking. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[156]
         		 High speeds and pouring rain down these narrow roads on a mountain bike. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[180]
     
    Lunch break at a small cocao plantation.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[157]
         		 The hike required us to cross the Urubamba River several times. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[215]
         		 We were put up by a family for the night on Amanitani Island: by danidawnandstevo, Views[120]
         		 I was allowed to row the boat and received some well deserved instructions from El Capitan. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[121]
         		 My lack of rowing experience resulted in El Capitan motoring us the rest of the way to shore. He did not look happy. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[123]
     
    From the reed islands we traveled to Taquile island. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[150]
         		 The top of Amantani Island had two peaks. with temples worshiping Pachamama (Mother Earth) and Pachatata (Father Earth). : by danidawnandstevo, Views[132]
         		 Pachamama temple. We were told to make a wish and walk around it counterclockwise three times and your wish will come true. Unfortunately our second lap was interrupted by a guy taking a piss on the temple so we don't think our wishes will come true. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[154]
         		 On the way back down from Pachamama temple. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[153]
         		 After we made it back home from the temple we watched our host family prepare dinner. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[122]
     
    We ate quinoa soup in silence since we didn't speak their language. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[182]
         		 After dinner we were dressed up and taken to a fiesta. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[196]
         		 Full on band and lots of dancing. First party I've been to where the women were not embarrassed to have the same dress on. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[185]
         		 Final photo with our host family before we departed the island. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[161]
         		 After Amantani Island we went to Tanquile Island for lunch. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[209]
     
    Arrived in Cusco to stay for a night before we head out for Machu Picchu. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[157]
         		 The flag can be seen all over South America. It represents the rainbow or bridge that connects the Inca Empires native people of the Andes. It's not gay pride as thought by many. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[166]
         		 One of the few remaining walls from Inca times. Most lay under the city of Cusco or were destroyed by the Spanish. What's remarkable and still a mystery is how the huge rocks were transported 70 km and carved with such precision they didn't need mortar. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[158]
         		 A beautiful view of Cusco from high atop San Cristobal hill. Credit to Danille for this photo. Her finger accidentally hit a button that gave it this efffect. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[181]

         		 Arriving at Uros floating reed islands. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[216]
         		 There are over 80 of these floating islands that were originally built to flee threats on the mainland. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[216]
         		 We were greeted by members of the Uru people. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[190]
         		 Stepping on the island was an unique experience. Soft and spongy, slightly wet with a giant net in the middle to catch fish. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[206]
