Even though nobody mentioned animals, I have to admit. This was also a cool part of the trip. There are three different scenes (clearly) in this gallery. We went to a spot in Cusco named Millmas where they raised some Alpacas for their wool. They have a ton of great clothes inside and, out of character, we spent some loot on a few things. It was a cool spot and it was a cool stop.
The second set of pics, clearly from a different place, was from an open-air animal market. We were just wandering the street and saw a woman with a bunny rabbit. Fair enough. We see odd things all the time. Then we turned the corner and realized the whole street was full of people selling animals – dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and whatever else (all small animals… no llamas or alpacas). I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to thinking: this is how the covid pandemic started. [side note: this is basically where we saw the first black person we found in Peru… LOL]
The third set is me remembering why I’m not a wildlife photographer. Our hotel had a bunch of hummingbird feeders and I took advantage of some free time to try and snap a few pics. I’m not too disappointed, but I’m not thrilled with them either. It’s a lot easier to get birds that sit still!

Meet Majaheed. We had an awesome conversation about a US expat living as a Black man in Peru.
