Monday Escapes

Last week we went to Machu Picchu on Monday Escapes.  I couldn't bear to leave Peru without vicariously traveling through the region again.  Don't forget to drink your coca tea to help with the altitude, because the air is still thin up here:

There are more magnificent landscapes to behold outside of the Inca trail...

Alpacas and Quechuan natives in colorful garb...

Soccer stadiums filled with fans...

Schoolchildren walking through the central square of the city of Cusco, which is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site...

Terracotta rooftops splayed out across the city...

And the beginning of a sunset in Plaza De Armas with the cathedral towering in the background...

Have a great week!
