Early Saturday morning, after we ate breakfast, we took a collectivo - a taxi that becomes cheaper when more people are going to the same place - to Pisac. It was a large van, and it drove very fast, but the views were awesome.
We started in the market where we found a few more things. Pisac is a really nice town, very beautiful.
We then found a taxi to take us up to the Pisac ruins. Two other ladies were also headed up, so we were able to share the expense. It was nice, too, because the taxi had to wait for us for two hours, so we saved a lot of money that way. We thought about taking the trek down to town, but it would have taken another two hours, and we still had to get to Ollanta. Anyway, the ruins were awesome. We walked around the mountain, up and down, getting used to the altitude. Very beautiful up there!!
After heading back down, we found a place to eat. Then it was off to find a ride to our next stop. Eventually we figured out where the bus stop was. But when we looked on, it was super packed with tiny seats. With our luggage in tow, we decided to just easy the cost and take a taxi. So far, Ollanta is even better than Pisac. It's beautiful and small and relaxed. After checking into our hostel, and taking a much needed siesta, we went to find some good Peruvian food. Success! We enjoyed a fresh salad, coca tea, and alpaca stir fry. Maybe it was just the way he cooked it, but alpaca is delicious. Busy day tomorrow!
