Excerpt from The Ruins of Choqquequirau
The next afternoon we packed and on the following morning, accompanied by a large cavalcade, we started for Choqquequirau. Most of our escort contented themselves with a mile or so, and then, wishing us good luck, returned to Abancay. We did not blame them. Owing to unusually heavy rains, the trail was in a frightful state. Well nigh impassable bogs, swollen torrents, avalanches of boulders and trees besides the usual concomitants of a Peruvian bridle-path cheered us on our way.
At noon we stopped a few moments in the village of Cachora where the prefect had instructed the gobernador to prepare us a suitable luncheon. This intoxicated worthy offered us instead, many apologies, and we had to get along as best we could with three or four boiled eggs, all the Village could provide.
