A great example of Incan technology still being used today is Marasal. Salt Ponds that have been passed down through the generations to mine salt.
A great afternoon stop, Moray is perfect to stretch the legs and learn how smart the Incas were with their microclimates and agricultural capabilities.
As a last hurrah before hitting the Inca Trail we did a Peruvian Countryside Mountain Bike Ride. It was gorgeous but tough!
2.5 KM Reverse hike from the top of the Pisac ruins to the town of Pisac. Nice hike down to continue acclimating to the altitude of Peru.
Awana Kacha is 25km outside Cusco and a great stop on the way to Pisac. The llamas and alpacas are happy to be fed by anyone who stops by.
Cusco is a city full of culture, color and activity, especially in June when they celebrate festivals the entire month.
