Old Walls

Walking down from the Christo Blanco we encountered a couple of llamas milling around the stone paths. Up close they are rather interesting looking animals, and to me they were very similar to a camel minus the long hair. Along the streets we also saw a few locals with their pet alpaca. The alpaca has a smaller stature and softer hair than that of a llama. Arriving in the Plaza de Armas we ate some comfort breakfast food at McDonald’s, albeit with a Peruvian flavor that tasted much better than in the states. Finishing breakfast we checked out of the hostel and went looking for a ride to Ollantaytambo (located in the Sacred Valley).
