Cusco and Sacsayhuaman

Finally, we arrived in Cusco to prepare for our Incan Trail hike to Machu Picchu. Our freind Chris came to join use for some time in Cusco and for Machu Picchu. On our first day, we happened upon a parade for the ¨Virgen¨. The parade involved dancing ladies, men, and children and also bands playing music. And what parade (for the Virgin) would be complete without gorillas and Darth Vadar. We didnt get it either. ´
We also got a chance to see several Incan ruins near Cusco, including Sacsayhuaman (sounds like Sexy Woman). Sacsayhuaman was a temple for the Incans. It revolves around 3 levels. The lower level is symbolized by the serpent and represents intelligence. The middle level is symbolized by the puma and represents strength. The upper level is symbolized by the condor and represents balance. We also got to slide down the rainbow temple.
