Saturday Hike in the Sacred Valley

Yesterday we went for a breathtaking hike in the Sacred Valley that was organized with our volunteer program. It first took us about an hour and half ride in a big van from where we started in Cuzco, then we arrived and began our hike. The hike took us over bridges, on train tracks, past fields of different crops--all with the mountains in the background. Then we climbed up rock stairs to get to the ruins of an old Incan temple. It was beautiful! After the hike we spent some time at the Cervercería Del Valle Sagrado and listened to some live music. We got back to Cuzco just in time to get some ice-cream at Qucharitas with our new friends, just before they closed. I tried vanilla ice-cream base with bananas and Oreos, and Mike got "the regular," which is a chocolate base with banana, Oreos, and peanut butter. Good stuff! They should have a Qucharitas back in Wisconsin! Nos encanta! :)
