(Left - the main street - traffic is 2 way,and very narrow - passing is difficult. An added problem is that there are no parking restrictions.Vehicles are left where the driver alights)
(Right - two of the school teachers wait by the side of the road, for some form of transport. A taxi service operates between Cuzco and Puma Marca. The fare is 1 Sol (Aus 0.40 cents), however there is no limiton how many passengers travel. The objective to get as many people in at a time - even if they have to sit in the rear of the station wagon, or sit on some other passenger's lap!!)
(Left - further along the main street)
(Right - the local carpenter is making some more chairs for the school)
(Left - another villager is hard at work making adobe bricks for a new building - these are drying in the main street)
(Right - further along we leave the houses and enter the open spaces - a lovely view)
(Left - vehiclesa are not the only road users!!)

(Right - further down the road another villager wheels loads of mud for new bricks)
(Left - villagers carry completed mud bricks up the hillside - despite the strength of the locals, and their custom of carrying heavy loads, two bricks at a time is the limit)
(Right - we are almost down to Cuzco and looking forward to the sealed roads again)
