Sights on the Way to Sacsahuaman
As we made our way to the third set of ruins, we saw some great local sights.  Take a look ……
Traditional Shepherd and Alpaca
We did see some people dressed in traditional Andean garb for the local shepherds.  This woman had her little guy (I think it was a boy) with her, carrying him in a sort of sling type backpack.  Love the bright colors…..and the alpaca is cute, too!
On the Roof
Many of the roofs of the homes and commercial buildings in the small towns have this type of décor on their roofs.  Generally, it’s 2 bulls and a cross (Peru is very much a Catholic country).  This décor symbolized union and prosperity and it is believed that having this décor on top of one’s home/shop will bring this to the person in the building.
Roof Décor
Here’s another variation of the same type of décor.
Peruvian Shepherd
And, finally, here’s another image of a typical Peruvian shepherd with her alpacas.  This time, I converted the image to an oil painting.
Enjoy!
