Locals waking up in the morning to use nature’s hot springs to wash up and relax. I took a tram and a 1 hr bus from Xindian to this place and the area was surprisingly not crowded. It’s incredibly unique because boiling hot water seeps from underground while ice cold water flows right next to it from a huge waterfall!
Hiked to see the tombs but stayed for the sunset
We didn’t make it to Rainbow mountain but almost all the other generic mountains had colors of their own so it’s ok! We spent the second day in Maras, looking for valleys, rivers, and Inca ruins. We were not disappointed with Marasal which contains hundreds of salt pool. It’s a gorgeous sight that should be witnessed in person.
I hopped of a plane in Cusco from Lima and ended up in Moray so the altitude difference was quite drastic. The high altitude didn’t really hit me until I jogged a couple few steps to catch up with people and felt like I was going to pass out! Moray was likely an experimental farm land and on the side, there was quinoa growing, a plant native to Peru, with exponentially increasing prices because of food trends..
Just when I thought I couldn’t love alpacas any more than I already did, Peru proves me wrong! My trip turned into a full on mission to search for alpacas and photograph them to document the diversity in colors, behavior, and coat type. I was able to get close to many of them and had many heart attacks when I thought they were about to spit on me. More alpaca pictures to come because why not??
Made it 20 minutes before sunset and watched colors in the sky change next to the Aegean Sea. Wrote a short summary of it, link is in bio!
