After arriving this morning in Lima
on the red eye from JFK, we made our way to Cusco and then onto our new home in
Ollantaytambo. Fueled by airport McDonald’s Big Macs and soggy pancakes, we
embarked on our first adventure in Peru. Our first stop was to the Sacsayhuaman
Ruins which tower above the Incan’s first establishment of Cusco. Built in the
shape of a puma to worship the sun, our group learned about the religious
history of the Incans.
We have some great pics to share and will work on getting them on the blog tomorrow- it kept crashing when we tried to post them tonight. We are safe and sound in the El Tambo hotel and looking forward to a scavenger hunt in the morning, which will help us to become more familiar with Ollantaytambo. All are well and excited to be in Peru!
