Ep 9: Qenko, Haucaypata and Pikchu: final test run, Inca sacrifices and a panorama

I ride with Angelo to the mysterious ruin of Qenko, an archaeological site where Inca kings were embalmed and a fertility cult arose; through the main plaza where a huge statue is erected to the Inca king Pachacutec who institutionalized human sacrifices; then to a rarely visited hilltop to the west of Cusco called Cerro Pikchu where I set up my Gigapan, shoot a panorama, and discuss the ancient Sukanka solar towers that once stood here to mark the calendar. Then, a couple of mods to my bike before a pub party farewell, because Im about to ride to Patagonia.
