Your ballroom days are over, Cuzco

El gringo loco towers over the Cuzco cityscape, more than two miles above sea level.

One of the first orders of business after seizing a new town is to build a special platform from which to admire your spoils.

Cuzco platform? Check.

Next order of business is the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

This perspective taken from a mountainside highway several hundred feet above Pisaq, about an hour´s drive east of Cuzco.

In the expanded view, you get a glimpse of snow-covered mountains in the middle, rear. The surrounding mountains, just about permanently without snow, are montañas. Mountains with snow are nevadas.

Just thinking about where to put that platform.
