I have made it to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca empire (13th century-1532). After seeing very few foreigners on my way from Lima it was a little bit shocking to see the amount of tourists here however it has been quite an intriguing and comfortable place to spend some time. Have enjoyed exploring this city and visiting the incredible and mysterious archeological sites in the region.
I followed the gringo trail to Machu Picchu by taking a few buses to the train station at Ollantaytambo. Once arriving at the station I was funneled through a very organized, controlled and expensive system. Even though navigating the tourist circus was a bit exhausting it was worth all the trouble, this place is truly amazing.

Moray was probably my favorite place that I visited, the precision of the circular stone work with
several enormous terraced circular depressions was very interesting.
Have not found much information on what this place was used for but it
has been said that it was an experimental agricultural site. Of course there are doubts about this. Very
mysterious indeed, will have to do some more research..
Next I will ride south to Puno and Lake Titicaca and then to the Bolivian border.
