Hola!!

So today was a super touristy run around literally every part of the mountains kind of day so I thought it would be best to just explain my day with pictures and captions :)

Our first stop was in Chinchero which was up the mountains from Cusco. This is a little pueblo that definitely doesn't look like much, and yet has all these neat spaces for tourists to learn about local businesses, such as alpaca products.

Cuy! Or in other words, guinea pig. These cuy are raised for consumption and it is a really popular dish in Cusco, especially among the lower socioeconomic classes. Haven't decided yet if I'm brave enough to eat one...they're just so cute!

I made a friend! These alpacas are raised for their wool, so luckily this guy here won't end up on my dinner plate.

Speaking of dinner plates, I actually tried alpaca (don't worry it was this guy's evil twin who was trying to take over the world, you're welcome for taking one for the team and saving all of humanity)...anyways as I was saying, the meat was actually really light and delicious, I'd almost venture to say better than beef, and most definitely not what I expected. Sorry buddy, I might be eating more alpaca before I leave hehe.
