Mini-Sven at the 12-sided stone

Posted 8th November 2011
Cuzco, Peru: Distance Travelled = 156,030 miles

Hello!
I'm still here in Peru and we're seeing all sorts of Inca Ruins. We've come to Cuszco and the 12-sided stone. It's a really important stone and well guarded. It was made with 12 sides so that it could fit and hold the rest of the wall together. Some of the sides were really small. It was very cool!
More soon

Mini-Sven at Sacsayhuamán

Sacsayhuamán, Peru: Distance Travelled = 156,031 miles

Hello,
We've travelled over to Sacsayhuamán. It's an amazing walled complex. What is amazing about it is that it was made without any mortar. I tried to climb the walls, but even climbing forwards and backwards I still couldn't get very high!
More soon.
lots of love

Mini-Sven on the Lares Trek

Posted 13th November 2011
Lares, Peru: Distance Travelled = 156,059 miles

Morning!
We've been trekking. It was really hard work, but really worth it! The Lares trek is four days long and the views have been amazing. The mountains were very pretty and there was enough snow around to make me feel at home. :)

Mini-Sven at Machu Picchu

Posted 16th November 2011
Machu Picchu, Peru: Distance Travelled = 156,093 miles

Hello!
We've trekked over to Machu Picchu. It's a wonderful Inca ruin situated 2430 meters above sea level. People think that it was built as an estate for the emperor Pachacuti, who was around from 1438–1472. Often called the "Lost City of the Incas". Time to move on, I think it's time for a new country, I've been in Peru for a while now!
lots of love
