Cusco-Pisac-Cusco, Peru

Pisac is famous for its acrophobic ruins and craft market. I took a taxi to the top of the mountain and then hiked downhills. There were Incan ruins strewn all over the place, so it certainly wasn't boring, but it was steep! My legs were wobbly after a misly 1.5-hour hike.

When I came back to Cusco, a festival was in full swing in the Plaza de Armas. A massive crowd filled in the plaza, kids running wild, and some sort of a procession going into the Cathedral… What's going on?
Answer: Corpus Christi. Pray all day, drink all night.
