We are off to China tomorrow, so I gotta wrap up our Andean trip.

After coming back from Machu Picchu, we spent another day in Cusco, wondering around. We also did a tour of the city which included Qoricancha – the royal and ceremonial complex that was turned into a monastery and had some amazingly meticulous stonework – and some of the sites around Cusco, such as Sacsayhuaman (the guides suggest “Sexy Woman” as a mnemonic) which was composed of some rather impressive bolders.

Next day we flew to Lima, which was a lot more modern and less interesting, but still had a few surprizes, which included a pile of skulls laid out in concentric circles in the crypt of one of the churches, a Chinatown and a piramyd in the middle of a boring residential district.
