Yesterday we did a horse ride into the mountains around Ollantaytambo to the ruins at Pumamarca. This was, according to our guide, a training place for Inca warriors. It was difficult to get a really good understanding because our Spanish is next to non existent and his English was basic. Never the less, the ride was great, and had a good time....this being the first time on a horse for the girls.
We had to get off and walk in the really steep bits...poor little horses! This is quite hard going too cos the air is pretty thin...but by now we are quite acclimatised.

All up it took us nearly 5 hours. My thighs were sore by then, and I was glad we'd not gone for a whole day tour, which was one of the options.
Today we're off to Cusco again in a taxi..and stopping at the salt mines on the way...
