Today we went to Ollantaytambo valley where we drove up a dirt road to 12,000 ft to visit with an Inca farm family. We were the only ones on the tour. People do this tour only a few times a month. It was like the home stay we had in I had alpaca steak for dinner. It tastes and looks like beef.
These women were repairing the road that was damaged by a rain storm a few days ago. The men were at work as porters carrying gear for people hiking the Inca trail. The trail is 24 miles and takes four days.
The girl is 3 months and the boy was 4. He followed us around. I taught the boy how to count to 3.
Guinea pigs
Note the hanging birds.
This is where they cook
They own a lot of land.
We picked up a cook in town. He made quinoa soup, rice and chicken. We'll try and make the soup when we get home.
The local guide, who was also the cook brought food to pass out. I think this is for the intrusion. The travel company also has built schools and provided doctors for the people.
The people have natural rosy cheeks.
