Time to move on! Again?

Yes we are still in Colca Canyon but now we are being driven along the dirt roads and the dust.....oh la la!!

 But the scenery is the reward...still mountains everywhere but we can see that agriculture has taken over from the tourist trade. And the long history of the Incas show their understanding of preparing difficult sites along with skillful drainage resulting in success.

Obviously the roads have been simply cut through the mountains and hillsides to provide access. The dust soon settles to reveal greens and browns of the agricultural valleys. We are on the way to Machu Pichu...and not before time. Our legs are demanding some action and we will get it. But before we do move out of the luxury of our car we are held up by much traffic as floods have destroyed the road and mostly the railway access. A tourist sales point meets us and before we know it we are on one of the buses to the top of this ancient mountain range.
