Bonnie by Mary and JesusBonnie and I experienced the WORST tour ever in Huaraz, a beautiful city tucked in the Cordilleras of the Andes, but the tour itself wasted an entire day and only allowed us an hour at a gorgeous laguna (the guide, Hitler, seemed to think that we needed to visit random statues of Jesus and Mary and spend 20 minutes in even more random towns...followed by a stop for supper at an expensive restaraunt, far away from other economical choices).
In the land of the giants, complete with huts like Puddleglum'sSo, we did our own tour in Chavín. On the way to this small pueblo, we encountered Narnia...No joke, if you have read The Silver Prince or seen the BBC episodes, we found the land of the giants. It was beautiful.
The vigilant guardWe went to some BC ruins of the Chavín indigenous people, and were closely watched by a guard the entire time, who was crouched on top of a small cabin atop a hill in the middle of the site. I waved to him to be fecitious, and he appeared startled. But he didn´t fall, and we commensed to have a picnic before he decided we needed help finding a table in the picnic area.
The ruins were actually interesting and we went into some underground chambers that were a little creepy and very Indiana Jones-ish. We even saw an incredible artifact, a sculpture in great shape, lighted to seem hypnotic.
Me with the weird sculpture, straight from Indiana Jones
