Urubamba – The Sacred Valley

Along River Urubamba. In what is know as the Vale Segrado or Sacred Valley to us Grings.

My motorcycle, despite a deceptively dangerous sounding exhaust tone, is quite slow.
To combat boredom, I’ve taken the most muddy, bumpy rural roads, most of which are riverside.
Also, I can take my helmet and jacket off and greet the odd local along the way, shout at the dogs etc..

In Cuzco

After doing the expected in Peru, having 8 hours to spare till my Cruz del Sur bus departed for Chilli border, I’ve hired a motorcycle. 400cc Honda.
They’re not too fussed on the technicalities of licenses and whatnot over here.

One of the guidebooks claimed there was a lake somewhere above Ollantytambo up in the hills.
I will seek out this lake and blog details.
