Finally I saw the last of Peru's 3 sacred animals the snake, the others being the Andean condor and the puma which I had both seen earlier on this Peru trip. This snake we were told was venomous. Seeing it at Intipunku, The Sun Gate, 2,720 m and the beginning of Machu Picchu made it even more magic!

snake in stone. Sillustani, Peru.
Sillustani is a pre-Incan burial ground on the shores of Lake Umayo near Puno in Peru. The tombs, which are built above ground in tower-like structures called chullpas, are the vestiges of the Colla people, Aymara who were conquered by the Inca in the 1400s. The structures housed the remains of complete family groups, although they were probably limited to nobility.Edit
