Day Two

Today we traveled. A lot. I have been on buses traveling up very steep mountains before in Europe, looking out the window and seeing the edge of the mountain is not typically a good feeling -- I thought I had already experienced that fear. I was wrong. On our way to the hiking site we were really blessed to be able to see some parts of Peru that have not been impacted by tourism in any way, shape, or form. Part of it just did not seem real. There were flocks of sheep all over the road, and littles kids who were trying to get them safely out of our bus' way. We got to seem some of the original agricultural tools at work, fields and fields of corn, and even climbed to our first ruin at Makallaqta. This was an incredible sight as we took our first steps into the Inca culture and looked first-hand into their ingenious architecture.

The scenery and mountaintop ruins were absolutely breathtaking- so was the hike up! Here's the video for today's adventure.
