qosqo

Altiplano coming out of the sacred valley towards Chinchero. They grow hundreds of kinds of corn and potatoes around here.

The church in Chinchero, about 30 minutes outside of Cusco. The church is beautiful, but the site has been mainly converted into a market for Andean arts.

Water flowing next to the plaza mayor. You would never know it, but I was standing in a group of 50 tourists. Standard.

One of the many narrow streets leading out of Cusco into the surrounding hills. We walked this one until it ended near San Cristobal, then took a trail to Cristo.

Had to take it...everyone else did.

The Cathedral in the Plaza de Armas in Cusco the day before the Fiestas Patrias took over for independence day.

Twerpy pops in Pisaq, enjoying a rare moment away from the white masses.

Pops leads the queue of gringos walking through Machu Picchu, trying to keep up with Grupo Julio (follow the orange flag).
A small army of tourists overlooking the ruins at Machu Picchu. The towers don't actually glow, but a cheap scanner can light them up.

This guy managed to isolate himself on the terraces overlooking Aguas Calientes and the railroad to Ollantaytambo.
