Ryan and I caught a bus to see the ruins at Chinchero. The walk and the scenery were pleasant, but not as dramatic as Pisac yesterday. We ambled through the terraces for 2 hours before returning to the town to browse the textiles. Ryan had to be back at 5:00 for a training so we returned early to Cusco.

SAE hosted "Ask a Guide" where local guides came to share info on treks. There was a gentleman from Fairbanks, AK who is a historian/explorer of lost civilizations who has been coming to Cusco since 1974. Paolo was a wealth of information. He has written lots of Machu Picchu. With Paolo's help, I constructed an itinerary for the next few days. Tomorrow, I will hit all the sites in town. I will skip the trek I wanted to do and head towards Machu Picchu on Friday stopping at ruins along the way.
