Tipón, Part I: The journey

Last Friday afternoon I went with a friend from school to Tipón, some 20-25 km south of Cusco. We arrived in the tiny town, whose main road is lined with restaurants specializing in cuy, and started down a dirt road toward the ruins.

We crossed these train tracks...












...and ended up stone-hopping part of this stream further down the path.








A common sight along the way. Unfortunately I didn't manage a photo on the way back, when we shared the road with a herd of cows and a gaggle of sheep. I know that's the term for geese, but I like it for sheep too.
