Uno Urco
This festival takes place behind our house in the Sacred Valley and the legend of Uno Urco or "The Water of Urco", relates to the agriculture in the Sacred Valley. The son of Inca Wiracocha, Urco Huaranca, offered his daughter to the first man who could construct water channels in the area which would irrigate the fields and feed the people.

Josh and I built a pig pen for our new little piggies known as chancho's. We named the brother sister piglets Chicha y Rones. Which will be our Christmas dinner for 2011.
