The Inca Capital

---

We left Chiclayo on May 5. We're now travelling a bit before flying back home. Our first stop was Cuzco, which use to be the capital of the Inca empire. The town still has many leftovers from this old civilisation and there were plenty of ruins to visit in the region. I haven't got much time to write about it all, so I´ll let you enjoy the photos!!!

Face to Face...
... with a Lama.´
He didn´t spit at me, by the way

The hills around Cuzco
Although tourism activity is huge, the city is still full of poverty.

Me trying out a Poncho
It's very warm. All the locals have one.

Pierre at Sacsayhuaman
This is one of the few entrances to this fantastic Inca fortress. You can imagine how dificult it must have been to enter. And not just because Pierre´s standing there.
