day 16 - Urubamba - Ollantaytambo

Got a collectivo for Pisac this morning ... to visit another Inca-ruin ... one of the best until now ...

It is upon a high hill ... so I took a taxi to the highest point ...

It was raining a little bit ...

These are the habitations between the terassess...

those holes where to hold the doors ...

and as always there is water to purify ...

and on the other side of the little valley there are holes used as tombs ...

they also used clay mixed with stow and lama-mool above the stone fundations ... here it is protected against the rain ...

and then there is the passway to the temples ...

fist a wall with a door ...

then stairs up ...

a tunnel and stairs down ...

until you come to the temples ...

with a temple of the sun ...

then down I went to Pisac ... first some grain-storage ...

... and more terassess ...

and then Pisac with its famous market ... of which 90% is for the tourist ... just quickly passed by ...

Back to Urubamba to get the luagage, then to Olleantaytambo to see the next ruin ...

more terassess to climb ...

and on top a sacntuary ... this one was not finished ... interupted by the spanish invation ...

... aview on Olleantaytambo ...

... and this the valley downstreams ... very interesting ...

... WHILE ... YES ...

I have the train-tickets for Agua Calientes and then Macchu Picchu ...
tomorrow early up - train at 5:10 (I have to be there before ... question not to mis this expensive train)
