Leaving the Sacred Valley, heading over to Lake Titikaka

Ruins at PisacOur last night in Cuzco involved camping on top of the Temple of the Moon, which miraculously we didn’t get kicked out until the next morning. We quickly saw our last set of Inca ruins at Pisac, and then headed over to Puno, on Lake Titikaka. We took a 2-day Titikaka tour to see the floating islands of Uros, which were mainly occupied by souvenir sellers, and then stayed overnight on the island of Amantani, which was a little strange - the islanders live mainly off of tourism (and day labour in the off-season), and this was a homestay, but because their island had become as close to Disneyland as is possible in Peru, it was hard to establish any kind of genuine contact with the locals.
