The hike to Pumamarca: The spanish lost here!

The Spanish DIDN'T WIN HERE!! And I get it, this fortress is situated on the edge of a nice mountain where on a clear day, one can see for miles in every direction. If there were an attack on the city, which there was, there would be at least a days warning. The hike was tough but worthwhile. More beautiful mountainscapes and such! I can't get enough of it obviously.  On another note, there was a small tremor/some sort of geological occurrence today that was a little scary.
