On Sunday 29th a party sent back to the valley with the "City of the Dead" made an interesting discovery - "Painted Houses". These houses have stood for centuries without any interference from any other cultures. Many human remains are scattered around the interior and exterior.
On the wildlife front. Dept. leader Barry Moss was the first to see a Puma. Around the camp we have seen a fox, hares, some flamingos, but best of all we have seen herds of elegant Llama and Vicuna grazing on the Altiplano. The Vicuna were once threatened with extinction but now number 5,700 in this area.
