On our tour we visited the coca museum, where we learned of the positive uses of coca leaves. We also visited a silversmith shop where we watched how silver jewelry is made.

It’s amazing how well the blocks in the wall fit together.

Tonight is the last night we will be having dinner with 7 members of our group. These people  will be leaving us to start on the Inca Trail walk early tomorrow morning, we rejoin them in 4 days
