Vegetarian Restaurants
There are so many vegetarian restaurants in Peru that I found almost all of them by chance. They are everywhere. There are several others in Cusco and Lima that I never found.
Ollantaytambo ruins
There are Incan ruins all over Peru. Some people theorize that some of the more impressive structures are pre-Incan, created by a civilization that was extremely advanced.
Machu Picchu ruins
Machu Picchu is huge and amazing and impossible to comprehend.
Saksaywaman ruins
This was the most impressive of all the ruins just because of the size of the stones and the complexity of how they all fit together. It is also full of strange and perfect carvings in the rock.
Other ruins
The first two are from the ruins at P'isaq, known as the Temple of the Sun. The second two are from Moray, theorized to be an agricultural center for learning or experimentation. The last picture is an unidentified illuminated object flying around Saturn from NASA's website. Looks suspiciously like the Moray terraces.
Andean school
I can't find the name of the town but this school is located in the mountains at 12,300 feet. The school was built and funded with tremendous assistance from Wilka Tilka, the retreat center where we were staying. Some of the kids walk 2 hours each way to get to the school.
Gourmet raw food
We received three gourmet raw meals a day, prepared by Matt Samuelson who has worked as Woody Harrelson's personal chef. The food was always fabulous. He swears he is coming out with a recipe book one of these days.
Scenic views
Random stuff
Lydia, of Lydia's Organics, just happened to be in Peru. An Andean healer walked 2 days over 4 snow-capped mountain peaks to do a fire ceremony and coca leaf readings. A low-tech cactus security fence. A bicycle used to pick up the city garbage in Cusco. A woman and child selling textiles outside Cusco. Trash cans for organic waste are all over Peru.
