My tour in Cuzco are not terminated. My next goal is: " El Valle Sagrado de los Incas ! The Sacred Valley of the Incas includes - among other things - the town of Urubamba, Pisac and Ollantaytambo. My first stop is Pisac. Upon my arrival, I am surprised is the series of agricultural terraces and Inca ruins located atop a hill. From there, always with the inevitable bus full of tourists, I go to Urubamba: the largest city in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Even at Urubamba I can see many Inca ruins and, fortunately for me, I also have the joy of visiting in a typical restaurant where you will find rest and shelter from the rain that culinary dall''alba until lunch time I have never abandoned.
The latest adventure in the "Sacred Valley" is dedicated to the visit to Ollantaytambo. The first impact with the archaeological site is impressive. An amazing number of steps in front of me parry with the classical construction of terraces. I know that reaching the summit you can enjoy a wonderful view and I know it will be tough: at 2800 meters above sea level the oxygen is less and the fatigue is felt .....! However I can and the first thing I notice are the "qollqa" stores fieldstones sites on the hills surrounding Ollantaytambo. Unfortunately, the altitude sickness is back with the punctuality of a Swiss watch and are forced to return to the bus to look a bit 'of relief.
On my return to Cuzco I have a fever at 39 and I force myself to bed for a whole day. Unfortunately I had already pocketed the ticket to go and visit one of the seven wonders of the world Machu Picchu "And, because of my physical debacle, I have to give up in discouragement and sadness. As soon as I recovered I will find out that thousands of tourists are stranded in Aguas Calientes for a great flood that devastated the area. Aguas Calientes is the closest access point to the sacred Inca city of Machu Picchu (old mountain in Quechua). I should go from there to your destination and I would be stuck in the mud and rain for a few days if it were not for the fever. A Sometimes what seems a misfortune turns out to be, in reality, the better the fate .......
