The Sacred Valley

Savannah and my first adventure in Peru was the Sacred Valley Tour.  Most people know of Machu Picchu but the areas surrounding Cusco are littered with other ancient ruins, so we decided to take an all day tour to check them out.  Much of the tour was spent on the bus with a less than excellent guide, but the ruins at Pisaq, Ollantaytambo, and the cloth makers at Chinchero were pretty cool, have a look:
