Aguas Calientes a.k.a. Machupicchu Pueblo is located 6 kilometers from Machu Picchu, closely surrounded by rainforest-covered mountains. There's no road connection, you can only get there by train or on foot. For most visitors, it's the starting point for the tour to the ancient city. The village is very well presented with many artistic details. Here I even had the chance to watch the development. 🤗🎨🐾
I've many more photos, but always nice and slow with the young sloths... ☝😏
🤓 On this day in history, July 24th:
In 1911, Machu Picchu was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. ☝

West of the village of Maras are these unusual Inca ruins. Their depth, design and orientation creates a temperature difference of as much as 15°C (27°F) between the top and the bottom. The purpose is uncertain, but it may have been used for agricultural experiments. It has been discovered that the soil of the terraces comes from different places. The Inca have produced countless varieties of potatoes, quinoa and corn. Until 50 years ago, potatoes and barley were grown here.

"Sunrise Flowers" this morning during my sloth wandering. Sloths are always in action, just very slow. This video symbolises the stages of getting up. It always starts with a blurry thistle.

Sometime in a parallel universe. Such recordings succeed only sloths. If you move too fast, the universe is frightening.

Brothers Grimm National Monument in Hanau, Hesse, Germany.

Jacob Grimm (left) and Wilhelm Grimm (right) were born in the town of Hanau, where in 1896 this monument was unveiled. Everyone knows at least a few of the many stories they collected and published.

What is your favourite Grimms' Fairy Tale?

The loveliest place I found in Peru is Santa Teresa. It's a few kilometers away from Machu Picchu. There I relaxed so much! Here on a rock at the Urubamba River, near the hot wells.

Norderkeerk in Amsterdam.
A nice building by famous Dutch architect Hendrick de Keyser (17th century). I like the street lamp. Next time I'll pay more attention to the lamps of Amsterdam. There are countless different designs everywhere.

Philoslothy: Light the shape of your heart. There's no reflection in darkness. I'm aware of what moves me. It's the moths in my fur (a sloth-o-nyme). If you also want moths: turn on the light!

I like to watch sunsets! 🤗
Although my construction on the dog bag dispenser didn't withstand the strong wind, I still think the result is very nice. 😋 The video shows a time-lapse of the last 30 minutes of yesterday's sunset. ⏱

Today I slept for a long time. But exactly one year ago I was on a sloth wandering and shot this photo of the sunrise.
