Cusco Condos - Reviews and Rates

Sunday was all about getting to know Cuzco.
Cuzco is a beautiful city, with the tourism centralized around Plaza Du Armas.
We walked around and saw some ceremonies - One with kindergarden kids' parade in the Plaza Du Armas, It was crowded, it was very colorful and it was quite interesting.
We were told that every few Sundays there are ...

Thought Id start writing this blog now before we trek to machupicchu while I remember what we have been up to. I can update with our machupicchu experience later. We caught our limo for the journey to Cusco, which was two hours late to get us from Ica... buses run on peruvian time too. Not the best of bus journeys, although justin may disagree a...

Trek Day 1: Mollepata to Soraypampa Nick and I got up early to finish packing our bags before a cab picked us up to take us to the bus. Our cab was running a little late so we were some of the last people to board the bus, which was filled with two hiking groups. We had a 2 hour bus ride to Mollepata where the 2 groups separated, and we had some...

So, after being sick for over a week, not being able to eat much of anything (a few pieces of bread a day), and being bored out of my mind, I finally went to the doctor. My friend, Stephanie (a nurse), went with me which was good because I was pretty scared to go on my own. It wasn´t too bad however. We were told it would be a 5 minute wait but ...

We took a Tourist Class coach from Puno to Cusco, paying extra to get a guided tour of some sights along the way, and a buffet lunch! I have added a few pics of the Incan ruins and other sights that are found in the Southern part of the Sacred Valleyt of the Incas. Loads of tourists. We are definately on the Gringo Trail at the moment.

One of the wonders of the world, Machu Picchu, has been described on the "7 new wonders of the world" website as follows: "Around 1440, it is believed that the Pachacútec Yupanqui, the founder of the Inca Empire, built the city in the clouds known as Machu Picchu ("old mountain") in what is now Peru. This extraordinary settlement lies 2,350 m ab...

Things I´ve learned today in Cusco: 1.) Vendors here are very optimistic, regardless of what they are trying to sell you. Even when you tell them no, they respond with "maybe later?" and you reply, "ummm, yeah, later" knowing good and well you were interested then and won´t be later. Almost every vendor we´ve run into has been this same way. For...

Whew...it´s been awhile. So much has happened... some of it very unexpected which is one of the reasons it´s been so long since we´ve been in touch with many of you. After saying good bye to Argentina we landed back in Lima, Peru. Ahhh Lima... the average score for Lima for Ben and I is 2.5. Lima sounds like construction, horns, autos that need ...

Apres avoir hesite longuement, on se decide pour faire un tour de 3 jours, avec visite de la vallee sacree, et bien sur du celebre Machu Picchu! On est ecoeures par les prix pratiques, sans doute les plus chers de notre voyage, mais ce qui est incroyable, c'est que meme si on faisait la visite par nous meme, ca reviendrait au meme... Enfin bon, ...

Visited the Sacred Valley on Sunday. Lots of good ruins and we stopped at 2 famous morning markets. Ate dinner with the girls from my hotel near the Plaza. Next time I´m in Peru, I 1) won´t be getting sick again! because 2) I will need more time in Cusco. We have been on a bus at 6 am every morning and don´t return until 7:30 at night, too late ...
