I’m not certain what the name of this flower is. Might be some sort of orchid. There were a lot of them in the cloud forest that surrounds the Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel in Aguas Calientes.

The Crop Circles of Moray
This is an HDR shot of Moray, a series of circular terraces that archeologists believe the Incans used as some sort of agricultural test center, growing various crops in the microclimates that each terrace provides. This is an unrestored site. There is another site here that has been restored and gives a clearer idea of what it must have looked like in Incan times. Those are the Urubamba and Vilcabamba mountain ranges in the distance. We arrived early and had the place to ourselves, providing some of the most spectacular vistas of the trip.

Sunset over Miraflores
This is an HDR shot of the Pacific Ocean shot from the Miraflores section of Lima around sunset. This was taken from LarcoMar, a mall built into the cliffs above the ocean. It’s not only a great mall, but they also have a great cigar store packed with Cubans.
