Cusco's Creative Arts, Peru / Ancient Inca Civilisation, Machu Picchu
Flying into Cusco whilst the sun was shinning was amazing. Looking at all the mountains surrounding the city and the strong orange of the terracotta tiles between these mountains. Cuzco has an altitude of 3400m above sea level, so we felt the air thin straight away once we landed.
Getting to our accommodation was quite the effort carrying our multiple bags up what felt like nearly one hundred stairs in this high altitude, huffing and puffing. We stayed at the most beautiful handcrafted penthouse in San Blas, which over looked the city.
Using this comfortable two story apartment as our headquarters as we took many day trips and two nights in Aguas Calientes to explore and visit one of the most impressive ancient civilisations, Machu Picchu.
We visited Salinas de Maras a salt mine made of many different levels. Each square is owned by a local family and is mined in the dry session.
We visited many markets and were explained how the alpaca wool is naturally coloured with barks, leaves and cacti with a very enthusiastic little girl stealing the show.
Deciding on the Bus from Cuzco to Hidroeléctrica, five hours of scenic landscape and heart skipping moments. Then a two and a half hour hike along the train lines to the Aguas Calientes. We had previously booked the 12.00 till 5.00pm time slot to see Machu Picchu the next day. Plenty of time to rest our tired legs ready for another hike.
The hike up to Machu Picchu was full of high energy, excited to arrive. Once up the top and at the entrance, hundreds of people finishing and more starting their experience ate their lunch keeping it away from the waiting street dogs.
First impression on seeing this ancient city was total amazement that such a civilisation can be built high in the Andes some 1700m above a rapid flowing river. Growing their own food and not having to ascend. The power and energy felt here was powerful and now we could feel high and enlightened. Machu Picchu was apparently located there for multiple reasons but one that stuck in my mind was the rising and setting of the sun, when viewed from specific locations within Machu Picchu. The sun would align neatly with religiously significant mountains during the solstices and equinoxes. The Inca believed the sun to be their ancestor. Astrology was used as the Incas calendar. Knowing where the sun is setting and rising told them when to plant there crops, gave them forecast information about there future. That is why there was not a fight when the Spanish invaded, the Incas knew it was coming and thought it was apart of their destiny.
We also learnt that it is sacred to jump. As we were made to delete some photos of myself holding Raquel off the ground.
When returning from Machu Picchu we decided to feel the reason it was called Aguas Calientes (Hot Water). Dipping ourselves into the supposed natural hot baths, which seemed more like a ses pool, not keen on putting our heads under the water.

Tambomachay in Cusco Peru Inca aqueducts, canals and waterfalls
Tambomachay is an archaeological site associated with the Inca Empire, located near Cusco, Peru. An alternate Spanish name is El Baño del Inca (the bath of the Inca).
It consists of a series of aqueducts, canals and waterfalls that run through the terraced rocks. The function of the site is uncertain: it may have served as a military outpost guarding the approaches to Cusco, as a spa resort for the Incan political elite, or both.

Cusco, Peru-Ancient Capital of the Incas (With Cusco Facts/Figures)
What I thought was just a gateway to Machu Picchu turned out to be one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited. Cusco is over 11,000 feet above sea level and is the former capital city of the Inca Empire. It features amazing architecture, especially the two churches in the Plaza de Armas, the main square where executions, bullfights, religious processions, and other major events took place. HIgh above Cusco you can see the orange roofs for miles. The city (and surrounding area) is rich with Inca history and is a must-see for any Peru visit.

Cusco & Machu Picchu Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Cusco & Machu Picchu – In Cusco and the Sacred Valley, magnificent ruins await the adventurous traveler. The most famous of all is Machu Picchu. Follow us through this incredible region!
When ready, browse vacation packages to Cusco:
Step through time and worlds with a #vacation to #Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire of the Sun. Since the 16th century, Spanish colonial buildings were built atop former Inca Palaces, of which only foundations remain.
In the Urubamba Valley, or #SacredValley, visitors can see the mysterious Moray Terraces and the pre-Inca Salt Mines of Maras. Ollantaytambo is a living Inca city and its towering ruins form the start of the Inca Trail to #MachuPicchu.
The long-lost Inca bastion was uncovered from the jungle in 1911. It remains a mystery how the Incas managed to stack the heavy granite blocks that make up the city’s buildings so precisely, at high altitude.
Little is also known about how the Incas turned a multi-lingual tribal region in an empire that is now known as one of the greatest civilizations in history.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.
