Day 3 – May 30th Sacred Valley Tour

We had a private Sacred Valley Tour with a great guide from the Salkantay Trekking company (Ricardo). It was wonderful and very educating about the Inca settlement and the Spanish arrival to the area. The first stop was a small Alpaca/Llama fabric production place. Upon entering the house, we saw the guinea pigs (Cuy) house and the Llama and Alpaca enclosure. The host spent great amount of time going through their process and the organic coloring sources they use from bugs to plants

The Cuy House
The Llama and the Alpaca
The demonstration of how the natural colors are obtained – Great stuff

We then went to different Inca ruines and we were so impressed with each one of them. We had to climb more than 400 steps (good training day)

By the end of the day, we were exhausted but with a better understanding of the Inca culture, their capabilities and amazing accomplishments. Thanks to our guide Ricardo
