I love Cuenca
So I made it to Cuenca and have been here for three days now. This city is amazing! It is very clean and quite safe. The narrow streets are made of cobblestone and the buildings are beautiful. I have been very busy since arriving here. I took a day trip out to the Ingapirca site, which is the first Inca ruins I have seen. Picture above. We walked throught the whole place and tried to read the spanish signs, hahah.
I went on a day trip yesturday to a National Park, Cajas. We did a few hikes here, the first was along the contintental plate, which divides the lakes...on the left they run to the Atlantic and on the Right they run to the pacific. It was freakin cold up there! The vien was amazing. The second hike was through the Wet Mountain Forest and through a paper tree forest. It felt as though we were walking on wet sponges and the forest was pretty neat because the trees and the branches grow everywhere. Picture above.
Today, I hit three little cities which each had different markets.
Tommarow I am off to Peru....hopefully!
