We took an all-day tour to the Sacred Valley, visiting 3 sites with our guide, Jesus. He wore a big leather cowboy hat, and called for "Jesus-Group" (pronounced American way) to gather ["Lezgho!"] when it was time to leave each site.
PISAC: (Above Left): Inca graves in the mountainside. They were buried in the fetal position.

OLLANTAYTAMBO: (Left): Jesus explains it all. (Above): Farming terrace ruins.
CHINCHERO: Colonial Catholic church, built on Inca ruins, built on pre-Inca ruins.
The bus got us back to Cusco around 6pm. I walked to book a room at "Loki," which I had heard about from a guy, Amir, who we met on the boat to Isla Del Sol. Jim went to get tickets for some future adventures. When I met up with him, our travel-lady, "Jenny," recommended a cheaper and closer hotel: Hostal Porta, on Ahuacpinta, which is basically an alley, but it's a nice alley, along the back wall of Qoricancha. We took our bags there, then went out into Cusco a bit. We probably ate something, somewhere, but I don't remember. We walked through the Plaza de Armas and took photos of the Inca statue/ fountain.
