We hired a taxi for half a day (130 soles, S$65, US$52) for a customized trip.

"Moray is an agricultural terrace complex northwest of Cuzco, south of the Sacred Valley. It might make some of us think of UFOs or crop circles, volcano craters, but this site is just a man-made agricultural complex. So, it has more to do with potatoes than aliens.Experts consider Moray an experimental facility for crops. They say, the Incas planted wheat, quinoa, panti, grain and kantu flowers at Moray and they experimented with different altitudes and light intensities. The deeper something was planted, the cooler it was down there... Each plant reacted differently to water and sunray quantities, as well as to temperature variations."

Cool Breeze.
Warm Sun.
It is sheer enjoyment.
Took a moment to contemplate about this beautiful world as well as my morality.
A good moment to know that that being ALIVE is a gift.
It is good to be ALIVE.

Beautiful World.

30km Peru-rail train ride from Ollantaytambo to Agua Calientes (the gateway to Machu Picchu).
The return train tickets was US$120 (super overpriced), the entrance ticket to Machu Picchu was US$47, and the return bus ticket from Agua Calientes to Machu Picchu was US$17. Including the food and overnight accommodation at Agua Calientes, the total expenses was over US$200+ for Machu Picchu.
The alternative route was to trek the Inca Trail which takes 4 days and costed around US$400-500. Ridiculously expensive.

(In spanish, it means Hot Spring)
