While visiting the MP ruins near the temple of the Kuntur our friend told us how he had made one of his visits back in the 80’s. He said during the 80’s very few people visited the ruins due to the threat of terrorists. He was sitting down underneath a rock when he heard footsteps. He told us the footsteps weren’t of one, but many…There were more footsteps than people at the sanctuary that day.

After he finished telling us his story, he left coca leafs at the site where he heard the footsteps all those years ago. It was a sacrifice to the spirits or apus that still roamed the sanctuary.

You wouldn’t be the only traveler who felt a “presence” in the Sacred Valley. I’m sure there are many more, like our friend, who have had similar experiences.

Great story!
