On August 30th, we arrived in Huaraz, Peru. That day we took a little side trip to the Willkawain ruins, dated from AD 700-1000 and part of the Huari empire. We had our first experience on a combi (minivans that take as many as 12 people at a time to where they want to go) to get to the ruins. It was an eye opening experience on the ride up to the ruins, seeing the Peruvian countryside and the rural way of life. When we arrived at Willkawain we discovered that the ruins were closed because it was a holiday. Luckily for a us, a local boy offered to give us a quite inciteful tour of the ruins.
