Enjoying Pisac and the Sacred Valley

October 14, 2014

"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

The past couple months I have settled in Pisac, Peru. Ever since I arrived in May, I seem to be drawn back. There is a beautiful community and awareness here that makes me feel at home. Since Pisac is located in a valley of the Andes Mountains, there are lots of places to enjoy, and many incredible people to meet.

Ausangate

more pictures and stories to come when better internet is found...

Myself, Persona, PJ and Laura strut our stuff on our way to find lunch in a small town between Pisac and Ausangate

The VW van sits in front of Ausangate Mountain at 4200 meters. There are several of us soaking in the natural hot spring left of the van. Nice morning!

Yin Yang Home where I lived for 7 weeks in September and October. What a lovely place to call home!

PJ, originally from rural Ireland, enjoys a book at the Yin Yang Home. So comfortable!

Preparation for a homemade vegetable lasagna!

View from inside Moto Tax. These vehicles make me laugh every time

We experimented with sourdough bread, an active yeast that comes from flour and water. And what delicious bread we made...

Tuula, originally from Finland, helped me a lot with making breads. Thanks Tuula for your enthusiasm!

Incan Terraces in Pisac. Hundreds of years ago, they grew food for thousands of people from these terraces

Kinsa Coccha

There is a Hiking Club that entertains hikers every Monday around the Valley. This hike we went to the Lakes of Kinsa Coccha, which in Quechua translates to mean three lakes.
