More parade on the main plaza, this time with older kids. Lunch at the Mercado Central. A big bowl of chicken soup, salad, fried fish and lentil over rice, all for s/3. It's advisable not to eat salad here!
Tipón, 23km SE of Cusco (bus s/2, then 4km uphill on dirt road - taxi s/8), is an impressive "renovated" expanse of terraces, with seemingly endless vertical irrigation channels.7km further is the Huari (or Wari) ruin of Pikillacta and its thick aqua duct bridge (reinforced by the Incas) Rumicolca.
A rock band was shooting a commercial here. (s/28 taxi from Tipon). 
Pikillacta is immense, broken, bleak, surrounded by a rampart. Wari (AD 600-950) was a warrior tribe. It's not hard to imagine the busy labyrinthine complex full of barracks and storage rooms in its heydays.
