Route: Tahiti --- Easter Island (more paradise in the middle of the ocean). Easter Island --- Santiago (then travel overland - don't ask me how - to Lima in Peru, seeing the Inca trail of course). Lima --- Mexico City (have fun in Mexico for a few weeks - including my 30th birthday party). Mexico City --- London

Pisac pictures

The Sacred Valley stretches from here at Pisac all the way down to Machu Picchu. The steep sides, dramatic terraces and mystical Inca ruins make it a great place to spend an (energetic) afternoon! Below you can see a very small Gary in front of the Temple De Sol on one of the many false summits of the mountain above Pisac town where the Incas built their impressively extensive complex.




This is the Temple de Sol from another angle - we climbed well above this citadel to explore the burial sites at the top of the mountain (where you can see Gary at the bottom of a craggy cliff), and to get the most impressive views down onto the stunning stone terraces hundreds of meters below us!
