Cumbe Mayo

Little House on the Pampa (pampa means 'grassy plain in Quechua).

Petroglyphs (rock engravings).  

Best. Moment. Ever.

What every market painting aspires to.

Magic.

Twisting natural fleece to make yarn. 

This view was breathtaking. 

The pre-Incan aqueduct.  I believe we were told it was created in 1000 B.C, or a thousand years before Christ. 

Notice the ninety degree cuts.  It is still a mystery as to how they were made without the use of modern tools.  Some point to alien intervention (!)

More petroglyphs.  This one is believed to be a map of the area.

We went to a pre-Incan archaeological site called Cumbe Mayo.  It contains an ancient aqueduct that you hike to.  The views were unbelievable - right out of National Geographic.  These photos don't even come close to capturing their beauty.  Vast. Vivid. Vibrant.
