Photos from Pisac

 Enjoying the sun!
 For the Incas there are 3 gods, Condor - god of the heavens, The Puma - god of the earth, The Snake - god or the underworld. The drainage system has been made into a representation of the snake.
 The main road where we got dropped off by the bus.
 A cool building, you can see they have etched in the Condor, Snake and Puma.

 More Inca terraces.
 My friend Elwyn trying on hats in the market.

 These 2 decided to join us on our hike up the mountain.

 This is a rare mountain flower called a shooting star. I found it fascinating, because, when I learned about it years ago, I was told it was only supposed to be found in the Rocky Mountains, (maybe it is a cousin).
 Chilling out close to the top where we stopped to have lunch.
