Tipon: Our Last and Least Favorite Ruins

Today we went to Tipon.  We had heard a good deal about how Tipon was really nice and someone even said that it is like Machu Picchu without the people.  We were somewhat disappointed when it really wasn't much more than a few terraces with a miniature canal on half of the terraces and a small fountain near the center of everything.  There are a few pre-Incan buildings that don't have the really nice stonework that the Inca structures have.  I think we might not have been so disappointed if we hadn't already been to so many very impressive ruins, including Machu Picchu.

We got a guide for the ruins but she spoke too fast for me to understand much of her Spanish.  The tour went on for a while this way and eventually we cut it short because Dad and I weren't learning anything.
