As you walk through Punto Union on the Santa Cruz trek this is the site that welcomed us !!!
thought it was a nice picture anyway !
on the Santa Cruz Trek. From left to right, Me, Anna, Mike, Nicola and Steph.
Notice the Chinchilla at the bottom of the picture. Only one we{ve seen in the wild in the whole of SA so far !
It really pushed us on day 2 as we had to cover 19k's and more importantly climb over 1200 metres !

Looking back down the Valley as we drove up to our starting point on the Santa Cruz Trek
The Ceremonial Plaze with the Temple and Sacred Mountains behind.
These are great and they´re still not sure why and what exactly they were used for. It´s like a labyrinth down there and I reckon they had wild Jaguars running about under here and the strongest warriors had to run the gauntlet through the labyrinth to try and escape... well that´s my theory anyway :)
This is a replica of the original which is now in Lima, however, the monument faces East to face the Morning Sun and the light filters through to illuminate it (with the help of a few artificial lights these days!)
The Fanged Cat (Supposidly a Jaguar) about 3000 years old !
En Route to Chavin de Huantar
En Route to Chavin de Huantar. The Locals line up to be photographed by the Touristicos! For a charge ... of course!
On Huanchaco beach. taken from the beach bar! Huanchaco is one of our favourite places so far in Peru!
Very hard to use !
Reformed, but the bit on the left is original
The Site is massive and well worth exploring for an hour or two... assuming you don't get lost that is !
Up Close
Up Close... you can see the dragons that give the temple it's name
These guys are great and normally have a Blonde MoHawk... This guy obviously chopped his off :)
