Olga Rumyantseva, Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Peru:

 Greetings from the Llamasitos group from Peru! Today we continued to get acquainted with the culture and history of this amazing country.

We toured some of the most interesting places in the vicinity of Cusco. We looked at ancient temples, ruins, explored mysterious caves and various sacred places, the origin and purpose of which historians do not fully understand.

In addition, we visited the farm, where we looked, fed and cuddled llamas, alpacas, guanacos and vicunias. And finally we found out who is who and how some differ from others.

That was the end of our city walks. Early tomorrow morning we will go to the Rainbow Mountains, and then we will start trekking and climbing Maria Peak.

We won't be in touch for a few days. But there will be the most interesting adventures.

Ararat is in touch! We have reached the top - hurrah!! We went out at 2 o'clock tonight, and we were slowly getting up. The weather was not very clear, the clouds were changing all the time and it was trying to snow or rain. But we walked calmly to our summit. It took us a little longer than usual, almost 8 hours. But everything went well, and we ascended, and most importantly, everyone went down to the camp without injury or incident! And now we are going to relax in the city and gain strength to view the sights of Eastern Turkey!
