Day 93: Drive from the Sacred Valley to Lake Titicaca - Tuesday February 8, 2011


Today was a driving day. It started through the Urubamba valley, bypassing Cusco, then moved through the Altaplano (high plains between mountain ranges) and ended in Puno at the Libertador Hotel Lago Titicaca. We drove by several important sites that would have filled some gaps in our pre-Inca civilizations, but it was not to be. It was raining hard at the first site near Cusco and the second, near Puno, seemed to be closed. We just can’t do everything! (Very few pictures today.) The large towns we drove through seemed gritty and not tourist oriented. We even skipped lunch in favor of a beautiful dinner.

The view of the lake from should give us a spectacular sunrise over the lake tomorrow. We will be touring the lake sites tomorrow and then on to Bolivia.
