Chinchero is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, northwest of Cusco in Peru. In the church, which was built on Inca ruins, the Mass is held today in Quechua.
I've just dug up these photos of the Tower of Pisa. Ground sloths dig a lot. Ground sloths dig deep. They are from 2003. Maybe you can spot a difference between now and then?

I've been there in the beginning of the wet season. And always had luck. These clouds are my friends. Maybe, some of them followed me to Germany. And I can see them hanging around our mountains now. And even if not, I'll come back!
Just enjoyed the power and beauty of nature on the paths of the Incas. Imagine the dramatic movement of the clouds. A plant takes its time, but knows its destination and blossoms in the light and mist of this enchanting place.
Aguas Calientes is a typical tourist destination. Each of the many restaurants offers a hot spot for internet. Aguas Calientes means "hot water". There are thermal baths, which I found quite pleasant. You get to them by following the Rio Aguas Calientes towards the well. That's the river in this video. It flows on the outskirts into the Urubamba river. Aguas Calientes is very lovingly decorated and always kept clean. Probably you shouldn't take a room right on the Rio Aguas Calientes. This is very loud!
A train in the rain. It often drizzled in Aguas Calientes. It's called rainforest anyhow. You need the rain to feel right in the rainforest! At least there were hardly any mosquitoes. They first discovered me in Santa Teresa. This train was coming from Hidroeléctrica. On my return journey I took this train.
The climb to Mount Machu Picchu was exhausting, but luckily I had good weather. 💃My room mate had been there the day before and it had been raining. 🍀🌞 How do you like the view? 🙃
