Rano jsme si doslapali na terminal a jeli smer Pikillacta, citadela postavene kulturou Wari, ale pravdepodobne osidlena i Inky. Komplex neni v prilis dobrem stavu a jedine co je videt je obranna zed a par ruin obydli. Vratili jsme se na hlavni cestu a stopli si dalsi collectivo do Tiponu, kde nas prekvapil strmy vystup kopcem, ale pro nas zadny problem... Cely areal ma asi 240 hektaru a je to takove mensi MachuPicchu. Jako vzdy bylo mozne chodit prakticky kdekoli a bylo toho spoustu k videni - amfiteatr, citadela, terasy k pestovani, dumyslny system rozvodu vody a konecne posvatny pramen, ktery ma snad i lecive ucinky. Opet tady bylo hodne pracovniku, kteri moc nepracovali, jen si tak lezeli na trave a uzivali si... Cesta do C. byla o.k, zastavili jsme se na zakusek - jako obvykle. Taky jsme prodali nase vlozky do spacaku, ktere jsme pouzili asi dvakrat, ale nechce se nam je vlacet s sebou dalsi 4 mesice a skoro nepouzit.

In the morning we went to terminal to catch a bus to Pikillacta, the citadel built by cuture Wari, but used also later by Incas. The complex is not in a very good state - u can c a defending walls and remains of the houses inside. We didnt stay long and returned back to the main road to hail the bus going to Tipon, main target of our day. Here we surprised by a steep climb, but no problem for us anymore... The whole place is incredibly huge - about 240 hectares, such a small MachuPicchu. As always u could walk anywhere and there was a lot to see - amfiteatr, citadel, terraces for corn and other plants, clever system of irrigation and finally the sacred source that meant to have curing effects. And again we saw lots of people who should be working but did not, they rested on the lawns watching tourists running around...The journey back was o.k, we stopped for a piece of cake as usual. We also sold our sleeping bag liners that we used twice and we didnt want to carry them for next 4 months not using them much.
