Girls in pinafores and straw hats are preparing for an outing to Hanging Rock,
where giant obelisks of red
stone jut out of the earth and create a labyrinth of craggy interstices — a geological marvel and a
sacred site for Aboriginal Australians.
This monument displays important constructions, with huge polyhedrons, forming the walls and trapezoidal portals of its
sacred places and Temple,
where one can appreciate the
stone façade composed of 6 perfectly fit red porphyre monoliths.
A further 30 mins drive takes us to Ollantaytambo surrounded by the
sacred mountains,
where we will again discover the magnificence of the Incan constructions, the amazing temple of the Sun, enormous blocks of rock perfectly carved and polished,
stone water fountains, stairs, terraces and the beauty of the local people in their traditional dress, all surrounded by the
sacred mountains and Valley of Patacancha and Willoq.
