In December 2014, Bob led a Temple Alumni Trip to Machu Picchu (Peru) and the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador). These are a few photos from the trip. The picture above is not Machu Picchu, but another place near Cuzco – Saqsaywaman Ruins. This link will take you to the GALAPAGOS part of the trip!.

Museo Larca in Lima, Peru (below). Pre-Incan art. Outdoors – beautiful flowers. Indoors cool sculpture, including rather lascivious poses (not posted).

How can you visit Peru without checking out llamas?

And what to do with llama or alpaca wool?

Perhaps you noticed some of the Incan stone masonry in the background. How did they cut these stones to such exact fits? It’s known, but what  skill amazing and perseverance.

MACHU PICCHU

This is a series of three photos along a trail that was a “backdoor” into Machu Picchu with a bridge that could be withdrawn. We could walk to the gate but not beyond to the bridge. Note the bridge in the first photo.

Another llama and a rodent called a viscacha (not to scale).

Here’s a link to the GALAPAGOS part of the trip!
