Jamie, the Sacrificial "Virgin" at the place where the whole Inca empire legendarily started. We spent two days on the Isla Del Sol in Lake Titicaca which is where the sun was supposedly born. It makes sense because this island was the sunniest Incian place we have been. All the other ruins, Machu Picchu included, are typically covered in fog and clouds. This arid island is covered in Inca terraces so they could cultivate even the steepest land. Reached only by a two hour boat ride from the main land, Isla Del Sol was a nice change of pace for us because there were no cars. Because of this, you would think it would have been pretty quiet, but instead of cars, the island was infested with the loudest and most comical donkeys we have ever heard.
