Dead llamas.

Apparently it is good luck to have the shriveled up corpse of a dead llama. There were many of them in the market…we were pretty horrified.

The museum had some interesting and intriguing info, but the lack of documented sources for many of the detailed data and the two guys behind the counter happily chewing coca leaves while we read about how they were primarily used for religious ceremonies in Inca times kind of made it lose some credibility.

Probably not very peaceful when it’s full of children, but seeing it was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday we practically had the whole place to ourselves!
