Two weeks in Peru
By : John Keller

From the highs of Cusco to the depths of the jungle, this trip was one of the best of my entire life. The pictures tell a better story than I ever could.

Pisac ruins and market
Hint: take the bus up to the top and hike down, then hit the market for lunch and return bus home. A GREAT day.

Train to Machu Picchu
Aguas Calientes, Peru
A free box lunch and glorious views of the glaciers and the white water. Wow! Spent a day climbing and reclimbing the stairs, and finally found "the spot" to take that classic photo.

Machu Picchu
Aguas Calientes, Peru
Feeling adventurous? Climb Putukusi mountain, but read about it first. One of the nearly-vertical ladders has 178 steps. It's a strenuous 2-hr hike to 1100m, from which point you look across (and down) on Machu Picchu, which is on the adjacent mountain top.

We crossed into Bolivia!
All the best-dressed turtles here wear orange butterflies on their noses (see pic).

Very hot, but lots of things to see ... and hear. Howler monkeys at night and spectacular macaws by day.

Sandoval Lake
Sandoval Lake Lodge, Peru
Today we saw more insects, birds, and the giant otters ... along with a wonderful sunset set to the sound of 100's of croaking frogs and the splashes of fish feeding on insects.
