On January 31, we headed to Ollantaytambo. It's really a pitstop before taking a train to Machu Picchu but we got to see some cool stuff along the way.
We stopped in a town called Pisaq on our way to Urubamba to do some shopping at the market. I utilized my negotiating skills to get a few gifts for my niece and nephews. After Pisaq, we headed to our ceramics class.
Our final pieces would be delivered to our hotel back in Cusco in a couple of days before our flight to Lima. I was excited to see how they would turn out and to be able to have a souvenir from our time in Urubamba. After a buffet lunch, we headed to Ollantaytambo.
After a long day, we headed to our hotel. We turned in early so we could get up early for our train to Machu Picchu. An update on our ceramics that we received when we got back to Cusco.
Sadly, we had to throw our ceramics away. It wasn't worth carrying since they were a bit heavy and really, what would I do with burnt ceramics? I'm glad to say though that I just sent these photos and feedback to the travel company we used, Latin America for Less, and they are crediting us the cost of the ceramics class. Finally, after 27 countries, some customer service!

Hello Mr. Condor |
Shaggy llama |
Baby white-tailed deer (I think) |
It might not look like it but this was a vicious vicunya - quite territorial |

Cross breed alpaca and llama |
Paul was terrified of the condor flying straight at us |
It was only flying towards the food though |
And then we got a picture with it |

Getting a lesson on how the wool is dyed |
We then headed deeper into the Sacred Valley |
The Sacred Valley runs along the Urubamba River |

Ollantaytambo is a town but it is also an Inca archaeological site |
