For those of you who may be wondering about the title, let me explain. Tipon is the name of the town & the ruins were these pictures were taken, and they have a special knack for Cuy. A Peruvian delicacy, Cuy consists of roasted Guinea Pig and if anyone knows what clinping is please feel free to share. We’re not really sure why these ruins are here because we were too cheap to get a guide, so we just had fun walking around and using the self timer option on our cameras taking group pictures lol. There are lots of man-made waterfalls and the area has a great view from the top of the mountain. As you can see below, Sarah was very eager to try Cuy lol jk we all split one between the 5 of us and it was still s25 a plate, which is a lot cheaper than Cusco but still high for the amount of meat you get. It tasted very bizarre, like a odd piece of chicken. I don’t think I’ll order it again but it was just one of those things that you have to try once while you had the chance. I’m a believer in Carpe Diem ( seize the day) and I intend to make the most of my final days in this wonderful city that is Cusco.

Wow - neat stuff Jon! Parker is not pleased that you were eating Guinea Pig as she would like one for a pet. You're right though, you have to experience it while you have the chance. You may never get some of those chances again. I'm glad you are making the most of this wonderful experience. See ya soon! Love, Aunt Shannon
ReplyDeletelol tell her I'm sorry and that these are special ones specifically grown up to eat so they are not as friendly as normal guinea pigs or something lol see ya soon
