Peeks & peaks of Peru

Reed boats at the Uros islands (Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca)


Grinding oats on the floating reed islands


On Taquile island, the marital status of men can be distinguished by their hat colour - I picked a single one!


Tried on an alpaca hat for size at tourist stop in middle of nowhere on Puno-Cusco train!


The impressive plaza of Cusco


Sexywoman - no, not me! Thats the name of these Inca ruins if you say Sacsayhuaman really fast.


Our brilliant Inca Trail guide Bobby explaining the ruins in the valley below


All set to start climbing the steps on day 2


Trekkers and porters winding up the trail to the top of Dead Woman´s Pass (4,200m)


Pretending to be a VIP buried in fetal position in Inca ruins


Pretending to look like I haven´t walked for 4 days, and that its not raining/cloudy, at the top of Machu Picchu!


That rock next to me is carved in the same shape as the mountain - cool hey?

Llamas and tourists enjoying the site of Machu Picchu


I loved this view from MP


Santa Catalina convent in Arequipa, opened to the public in 1970 after 400 years of mystery


One of the many paintings found in Santa Catalina
