2014_09_24 Aguas Caliente and back to Cusco


Day two at Inkaterra Hotel in Aguas Caliente.  We had the morning at leisure so decided to take a orchid tour on their grounds.



Real early for me in the lobby of the hotel.  Really nicely decorated.  We all loved the colors.


Lots of birds on the property.  This is a blue tanager - Richie Steingart image.


On the orchid tour.  Looking at tiny orchid they magnifying glass.


These guys were crushing tea leaves by hand in their tea plantation.


Walking along the path on orchid tour.  Like a mini jungle.


Roof tile detail - Richie Steingart again.


2 Bulls on rooftops are for good luck.


Looks like all little girls like books.  This was in the market where we were doing some last minute shopping.


Train station at Aguas Caliente.  We boarded the 3:48 train to Ollyantaytambo - a 1.5 hour train trip.
The driver was waiting for us in the parking lot.  He stopped at Tambo Del Inka Hotel in Urubamba on the way back to Cusco to retrieve my camera battery charger that I had left behind.  Arrived around 8:00 at Palacio Del Inka another 5 star hotel.  


Courtyard outside Palacio Del Inca, Cusco.


Our suite.


We feel like we're in a museum.  Nice headboard.
