Exploring the Sacred Valley

Hola! Bernie and Dumbo represented the friends on our most recent international adventure. We spent five glorious days at Explora in the Sacred Valley. Our room had a beautiful view of corn fields and mountains. 

It also had a very comfortable (and quite possibly the largest) bed. We had a great sleep every night we were there.

The meals at Explora were five stars. We loved ordering quinoa pancakes for breakfast.

On our first full day at Explora, we did two hikes. Here, the friends are taking a wee break mid-hike.

The first hike ended at Pumamarca, a hillside fortress that once guarded the entrance to the Sacred Valley.

In the afternoon, we visited the Salineras in Maras. Salt has been extracted from these 5,000 salt pools since Inca times.

On our second day, we did a hike to see five lagoons. This is Bernie and Dumbo at the highest point of our hike, at 14,295 feet above sea level.

More snaps to come!
