You can see the natural 'slide' in the rock formation but after seeing our guide descend somewhat faster than we'd like to, we opted instead for a photo shoot only. Rajni was adventurous though and did succumb to a much smaller, slower slide. Thankfully he survived uninjured.
Next we were picked up for a short drive, and a goody bag, so that we could begin our walk to Tambomachay to see the finely worked ceremonial water fountains. From their we continued to Puka Pukara (the Red Fort) and marvelled at the skill of the Incas so many years ago. Such a shame that the Spaniards came along and destroyed all the wonderful sites.
Our driver then met us and took us to our picnic site which was once again set up with a tent to shelter from the sun and of course the rocket toilet tent. Lunch was prepared by young Flora and was superb. We really couldn't ask for more.
After lunch we visited one more site before stopping at a textile factory where I bought a beautiful baby alpaca cardigan and Rajni drove a very hard bargain to acquire two cloths for Chia. (Sorry to Satish's family for the name spellings).
We have now returned to our hotel and have 2 hours to relax before our guide arrives to brief us for the start of our trek tomorrow.
