On August 27,2019,my friend and I boarded the first leg of our
journey from Vancouver Island,taking us to Peru,South America.
Twenty-four hours and four airports later we landed in Cusco,
Peru,a city of one million people.Coming from Vancouver Island,
where we live and which is only 100 feet above sea level,we knew that we were now at a much
higher altitude ()-over 11.000 feet-and needed time to get used to the scarcer oxygen
levels!We followed the advice of other travellers and the locals:drink lots of coca leaf tea and
rest for a couple of hours before any activity.
We were soon hiking through the ruins (and surrounding ancient castles of
Cusco Leaving Cusco the next day,we stopped at the Moray Ruins,which were used for farming
by the Incas.Their size and unique design should be considered a lesson in historical engineering
skills.This Inca site is one of the least known tourist destinations,but it's one of the most
interesting places to visit.
Arriving in the beautiful Sacred Valley,we stayed at Willka T'ika for the next week.This
place is wonderful.We enjoyed delicious vegetarian meals,all made with local produce by loving
Quechua people
You can't go to Peru without visiting historic Machu Picchu.The "road"up to the ruins is
made up of an endless series of switchbacks(急转弯),resulting in cold sweats(汗).It was worth
the ride though,as we walked through the ruins.
Too soon,it was time to leave Peru We learned the unique history of Inca,Quechua culture,
and the farming methods still widely practiced.The best thing we took away was how simple and
caring the people are and how deeply they love the earth and everyone they meet.We promised to
be more mindful upon returning home to Vancouver Island.
