Because Peru is in the Andes, it tends to be quite mountainous (duh). Therefore, there are lots and lots of steps. My aunt's knees started to hurt after a while and I revolted at this place called Ollantaytambo on our last day in Cusco. I refused to go up any more stairs, so I sat and watched "The Prince of Egypt" on my iPod and drank my Kool-aid (They have those individual packet things that you just dump into your bottle of water. It's nice to have flavor sometimes.) Here are some of the steps of Peru:
Some steps just stick out of the wall.
These steps in Cusco are called Amargura, which translates into "the bitterness." They were much longer, but I couldn't get it all in.
If you could zoom in on my face, I'm betting you might see a snarl or grimace.
Even the llamas have to go up the stairs!
