Another valley, and we saw terracing all over. Inca and pre-Inca cultures had shaped many of the surrounding hillsides for agricultural purposes.
After an hour or a little longer we approached the Sillistani archaeological site.

The elevation of Sillistani is approximately 3897 m = 12785 ft. |

In the shadow of the tower of the lizard, a shepherdess and her flock appeared. |
 |
 |
 |
She herded a mix of sheep and alpaca and was selling slingshots made from a mixture of those yarns. I could not help myself and got one of them. |

 |
On the way to the first tower we stopped to have a look at this stone circle.. |
 |
 |
I guess I should have used my flash, but that never seems to work too well in these special situations. I stuck my camera into the opening at the bottom of the first tower and while I can see the stones of the opposite wall, there is other stuff here. Something round at the lower right, and something odd in the center of the picture. |
