After breakfast this morning our guide took us to Piquillacta, located about 20 miles outside of Cusco (toward Puno). Piquillacta is the most important of the pre-Inca construction here in Cusco. Built by the Huari culture between A.D. 700 and 900, it is made up more than 700 adobe structures that may have housed as many as 10,000 people. After Piquillacta we headed to the small town of Andahuayl... Read Full Entry

When I was 8 years old, I went to summer camp for the first time. Whereas other kids were getting homesick as soon as they got there, I instead got sick the day I had to go home again. The travel bug caught me early and has lingered ever since. I LOVE to see new places, experience new cultures, eat new food... life is so short and there are so many places to see! I hope that this blog will be filled with many adventures to come. Next stop... France, Belgium, and the Netherlands!... full info

Just Wondering...
One of my friends just left for a Peru trip a few days ago. And i'm unsure of how to get in contact with him. He doesn't even have a blog or anything letting people know what he does all day. And I don't even think he's touched a computer. So I was wondering how many people are with you in the group you're in, and what they're names are? (In hopes that atleast reading what you do all day will give me a vibe of what he's doing...) He's traveling by himself though, if that narrows it down for you.

Hi! I´m just with two other people, but all of our tours have been through Condor Travel, who seem to be leading most of the tour groups in Peru. You might want to check with them and maybe they can look up his name and see where he is? They have a website (www.condortravel.com). Hope you find him!

Hahaha. Wondered how long it would be before your toilet obsession resurfaced :D Sounds very tiring having to deal with all the sellers, maybe if you walked away for long enough saying no you'd eventually be offered the entirety of Peru for free? Having vegetarian food does sound like the sensible choice. :D Doesn't sound like the best hotel ever for getting a night's sleep.

Love the pictures of the cool doors, did you try knocking on any of them to see what would happen? How odd it seems to see people wandering the streets with Alpaca like people would here with dogs! That's a very comfortable looking kitty :D
