Today we went to Ollantaytambo with our wonderful guide Daisy who told us so much about the Inca city ruins.Terraces were built at the foothills, as well as in front of the city for farming and eremonial purposes. At the time of the Icas, the city was home to 3000, and today many people live in the very same homes built by the Incas. Ollantaytambo was primarily an administrative center, and held possilbe the worlds first global aboriginal meeting.

We also went to Sacsayhuaman (sounds like sexy woman)which was also quite extrodinary. I also learned from our guide that the christ de blanco that overlooks the city of Cusco was a gift from Palistinian Immigrants who lived there about a decade ago as a measure of their appreciation and thanks for being welcomed.
