After wandering around the old city of Cuzco, we decided to go on a horseback riding trip through the nearby mountains in the morning, and an official city tour in the afternoon.
Horseback riding tour - morning

 |
| A llama grazing in the distance. This was the first llama that I saw, so I was pretty excited. |
 |
| We stopped here at this ruin. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch the name because our guide was speaking so fast in spanish. Most of the time, I caught what he was saying, except the name. In the distance, you can see Cuzco sprawling in the valley of the mountains. |
 |
| These ruins were cool because they had tunnels going in and out of the large rocks. As the guide explained, it was useful for the Quechua people to use the tunnels, although, it wasn't clear where they were going. |
 |
| A cave. We didn't go into this. |
 |
| A temple of the moon. There were a lot of temples around here. |
 |
| A local lady had a bird that was walking around. She allowed me to take a picture of it. |
