OLLANTAYTAMBO/ SACRED VALLEY One of our favorite tiny Peruvian cities, Ollantaytambo's (population 2000) history details a lovely story about a great Inca King that wanted to marry a peasant girl from the village. Forbidden love decided that she would be locked away in a tower for decades, and the story goes on to include grief, yearning, and injustice...But the reason for our attachment to this place is not the folktale behind its land, or the pretty ruins that tower over the narrow cobble s...

20th June 2009


Today is the start of our Inca Trail tour, with breakfast at 7.30am, ready
and set to leave at 8am for Ollantaytambo. We traveled with our local
guide through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Sacred Valley is a
lush agricultural region that was an important food source for the
Incas and today continues to supply the city of Cusco with much of
its produce.


Along the way we stopped at a little village and were shown how they spin,
dye an...

Who cares about the sacred valley, i need sleep!!

After being led astray by our guide a couple of us were not feeling top of the world the next morning, but we soldiered on....

GAP (our tour company) sponsors some local communities and we visited one this morning where the women gave a exhibition on the dyeing and weaving of alpaca wool......yes i know these things are very touristy and set up but it actually was quite interesting.

We arrived in the town of Ollantaytambo which is the jumping off point for the Inca Trail. Place ...

Ollyantambo - a magical little town

The entrance to the town of Ollyantambo was lovely.. an ancient cobbled stone road led up the last hill to the entrance to the village and as we rounded the corner it spread into a wonderful tree'd plaza (square)! - sooo good...! Our bus rolled into the square right on dusk and it was filled with dozens of people sitting around, chatting and just relaxing at the end of their day and all dressed in their colourful minority clothes and bowler hats- it looked like it was straight out of a movie...

Quite Simply: Machu Picchu

... on all day through the heat with his head injury. It looked only superficial but it really would have hurt. After we'd cleaned him up a little we set off on a steep uphill climb following this Inca path as it wound its way up the valley wall. We saw some of the native flora including coffee, mangoes (unfortunately not ripe), papaya and coca.

After about an hour of this we stopped for a nice long rest at a "typical jungle house" which stocked icy cold water to ...

Amazing horseback ride to salt mines, and Moray

... the salt. It was cool to watch. It all looked like ice. We even got to taste the salt. Very salty. ( : Then we got back on the horses and went to Maras, way up on the mountain. Stopped at a church there. Amazing view. On the way to Moray, we decided to let the horses gallop! It was so much fun, although Will almost lost his phone and camera. I had never done that before. It was so cool to be able to do in such a beautiful ...

A chegada em Limatambo

... ia com a assistente social até a escola e a clínica médica para acertar os meus horários de trabalho...

Assim terminou meu primeiro dia no Hogar de Niños - Camino de Vida! Eu gostei muito do lugar! Bonito, silencioso, com pessoas simpáticas...Acredito que vou gostar de viver aqui!
O lugar é cercado de montanhas e de minha janela posso ver um pico com glaciares eternos...Uma das paisagens mais incríveis que se pode ter...Eu estou feliz!

Beijos e saudades!

on the road again

... roads. The seats aren’t made for tall people and sleep…we tried the best we could. When we arrived at 2:30 in the morning there was a combi, or minivan bus, waiting to take people to Santa Teresa and the Hydroelectric plant somewhat nearby. Not exactly excited about hiking the 5 hours from St. Teresa to Aguas Calientes at that hour, we took the combi down the extremely bumpy, windy, pothole ridden road to the Hydroelectric plant. We bounced around so much ...

Inca Trail

... valley at 3600m and after lunch we tackled the second pass which was steeper in some parts than the first one but not as high so it only took about an hour to get up there and then another couple hours downhill to get to our campsite. On the way we visited some Inca site and our guide Raul told us about how the Inkas were organized etc - amazing how much they knew about the stars, farming techniques, that the earth was round... That night we stayed at ...

Finally....Machu Picchu

... 2km steep footpath which I had taken that morning. Meanwhile Daniela and Marcel were sitting pretty close and flirting with each other. It seemed like Machu Picchu had matchmaked two people on this trip. We sat with the other visitors lounging on the top, admiring the mountains and Machu Picchu from above. I felt lucky to be there.

On the way back down, it was still dangerous as we had to make sure that we didn’t slip down the ...
