Kate - Our next stop was Cuzco a city in southeastern Peru near the Urubamba valley of the Andes mountain range. It is a gorgeous city surrounded by beautiful mountains and picturesque architecture. The journey from Ica was a long 16 hours but was actually not too bad.

All in tact but minus one oar

It didn´t taste too bad!

The poor little critter!
That poor little guinea pig! It was bad enough being killed and served up on a plate, but then to have a tomatoe hat put on your head and a carrot stuck in your mouth - what a way to go! By the way, the rafting looks sensational, but if you two were in the raft, who took the pictures? Great blog, great trip! John H.
