Guinea-pigs in little doll houses in Peru

Daily Photo: Cuy in Pisac, Before & After

If you've ever had pet guinea-pigs, are a vegetarian, or are a little bit squeamish, then its probably best to look at today's photo as "oh how cute, they keep guinea-pigs in little doll houses in Peru."

In that case, its best not to click on the "read more" link which is an image of what these little guys can see day-in day out across the courtyard. Instead you could have a look at my images of the inca ruins at Pisac on iStock.

If you're going to Machu Picchu, I highly recommend a visit to Pisac, which also has a very colouful local market!

After

If you've made it this far, you get to see today's bonus photo: Cuy on the BBQ. Guinea Pig is a local delicacy in Peru, and cooked basically in similar ways to chicken. Yes, it also tastes like chicken!
