Lawn-Mowers of Machu Picchu

It’s tough for people to cut grass that’s terraced or growing on step hills, but it’s an enjoyable job when you allow llamas and alpacas do the job.

When we visited Machu Picchu, we noticed a number of these woolly creatures grazing on the grass, or resting and chewing their cud.  The grass was well trimmed throughout the site.

A machine of “Perpetual Motion” – amazing ! Makes my knees wobble just checking out that Drop Zone.  It’s not a fear of falling. It’s the sudden stop just after it.
