Day #3 More Sacred Valley and a Train ride

 Day 3 was spent exploring Pisac ruins and the famous Pisac market.  Another Incan royal estate in the Sacred Valley.  Pisac has the most incredible farming terraces.  We didn't have a tour guide this day, we decided that our littlest probably couldn't tolerate another whole day of a tour guide.  So we visited this ruin that is divided into four different areas.  Easton didn't want to climb quite as much as the other boys so the last 30 minutes or so Easton and I rested while the others saw the higher areas of the ruins.










In the huge, colorful market down in the town below the ruins.
After Pisac we got back into the van and made our way back to Ollantaytambo to get our luggage and board the train to Aguas Calientes (the town just below Machu Picchu).

A courtyard in our Ollantaytambo hotel.
Getting ready for our train ride.  It was a fun trip in this train and the scenery was fantastic.  It was interesting to watch the terrain go from mountain dry to tropical humid.

What an AMAZING trip! Those ruins look incredible. So happy that your family has such a neat opportunity to see another part of the world.

And your boys all of a sudden look so BIG!
