Dinner on our last night with Abelardo (our guide) and Wilfredo.

Michelle got a bit carried away with this sunset, here's 1 out of 10.

We couldn't get enough of the sunlight views.

See the zig-zag? That's the trail up the other side.

Hats and views.

A bit washed out, but happy all the same.

After admiring Incan rocks from every angle close-up, we decided the last set of walls could be appreciated better from afar.

Look Daddo and Sara, an Andean hummingbird!

A gorgeous place to wake up and do some yoga before starting the trek back.

Pre-dinner appetizers on our second night.

The upper compound as viewed from the meeting circle.

Always smiling, Wilfredo (our trusty cook and arriero) with the mulas.

Apparently we HAD to see the llamas... even though it meant an extra trek down (and back up).

Incan bowling?

Lyra looking pensive in the midst of the rocks.

Views from windows.

Ancient walls, the artsy black and white look.

Posing in doorways.

Yay, mountains!

Our first view of the lower terraces of Choquequirao.

Mmmmm...milk chocolate with peanuts never tasted so Sublime.

Day 2: up, up, and up.

Curly Q Cacti.

Patches of sunlight.

Snow covered mountains, always a sight to behold.

Starting off... 32 K to Choquequirao.

After a big bowl of salty spaghetti, we leave the town of Cachora and set off for Choquequirau.
