Photos from the Sacred Valley

The valley is an agricultural area with many farms and support businesses including this salt mining area.

The market at Pisac was interesting.

This colorful older lady set up her weaving on the edge of the market and charged tourists for taking her picture.

The ruins at Ollantaytambo were the first full Incan ruins we were able to explore.

While hiking around, we met many local people.

The Urubamba Plaza d'Armas is a center of social activity for the community.

This is the Amauta hotel/school where we stayed near Urubamba while we were in the sacred valley.

We went on a picnic with the Amauta staff and some guests. The cook is preparing fresh trout.

The guests at Amauta were primarily young Europeans.
