"At Saqsaywaman, on the outskirts of Cuzco, I noticed alpacas grazing among the Inca citadel’s stonework, a charming and lively presence that animated the archaeological setting. The pairing of monumental masonry and local fauna made the site feel both grand and intimately connected to everyday Andean life." - Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh is a London-based travel journalist and author whose work has appeared in publications like Time and Vanity Fair. She’s written three books, "Around India in 80 Trains," "Around the World in 80 Trains," and "Epic Train Journeys." Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
