Slept in this morning. We are at 13,000 feet or more and we both feel sluggish and can't eat. We did a tour this afternoon of a pre inca site and also visited a 'farm' if you could call it that. Rock huts in a walled complex...a bedroom, a store room, a guinea pig house, a corral for the alpacas, a hut to store alpaca poo (used for fuel), and a sort of indoor/outdoor kitchen hut. Their diet is corn, potatoes, and a sort of carrot, oats, and quinoa, alpaca and guinea pig on occasion. No electricity or Running water. Really basic living. And it is freezing cold. No fire or warmth in the huts.. The whole family sleep in one bed for warmth.
The bed is a base of rocks, then two layers of reeds, then a layer of alpaca skins, then blankets.
