Sunday: Kiva and I hit up the Chinchero ruins as a part of the Boleta Turistico. The town is extremely small with not a whole lot to do other than the ruins and the market. I got there around noon and Kiva's bus decided to make a million stops so I wandered around for a while while I waited for her. The market was probably the coolest thing all day. It is the most authentic market I think I have come across. So many fun things for really cheap but I didn't want to buy stuff and then have to carry it all over the ruins. After Kiva arrived we hiked up to the ruins and wandered around for a while. These ruins aren't very big and to be honest there wasn't much to look at so we headed back to Cusco fairly quickly. We got back and hung out for a bit before a cultural dance show that we got with the boleta. We had to get there early or else the place fills up because it's a very small theatre. It was very interesting to be a part of. Somewhat similar to the cultural play that I went to. The play started with some typical dances and that is what this entire show consisted of. The costumes were amazing and the people involved were all incredible.
Monday: After work all morning, Kiva trekked her way to Cusco again and we hit the last three ruins on our boleta. They were all very close to the saksaywaman. All very beautiful and some amazing views of the city.
