Cusco Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Ever since Monday's relatively quiet orientation day, we have been rushed off our feet. We get up at 7.00am each morning, to have breakfast at eight. Breakfast consists of some soothing coca tea (good for digestion, altitude sickness and headaches), fruit (either in the form of a fruit salad with yoghurt or a smoothie) and bread with jam and/or ...

God, I'm knackered. Didn't get any sleep on the bus from Arequipa last night - the sodding bingo and film went on until well after midnight and we arrived in Cusco at 5.30 a.m. I was sitting next to Andrew, a large, long-haired Aussie guy who works in mineral exploration - he was interesting and friendly guy, and we chatted for a while but alas ...

i know it has been a fairly long time since the last time i updated this!!! i blame it on the painfully slow internet we have had to endure in bolivia and peru (it is great that my biggest complaint is about slow internet...life is good) well, i say that before i get into this lovely blog that might have more complaints than anything else, but, ...

Becs 26/4: We took the tourist bus with Inka Express from Puno to Cusco, takes 10 hours but we stopped off at a few Inca sights on the way and also for lunch at this little town which seemed all it had going for it was the restaurant that all the tourist buses stopped at. Arrived in Cusco about 5ish to a little man holding a sign with our names ...

After the quick visit in Puno and seeing the floating islands on Lake Titicaca I took a bus to Cuzco early the next morning, to meet with a friend from Germany in Cuzco. Everything worked out perfectly! From Cuzco we took a bus to Pisac, hiked to the ruins in Pisac, then went on to Urubamba. Took a taxi to Salinas and Moray...not my lucky day......

wir schlafen aus, gehen fruehstuecken und besorgen uns tickets fuer ueber nacht nach nasca. dann treffen wir anna, maike und christian wieder, mit denen wir kaffeetrinken gehen. wir verbringen den tag ganz ruhig, haben viel spass zusammen und gehen abends noch essen. dort muessen wir uns leider wieder verabschieden und wir nehmen ein taxi zum bu...

The last few days of the trip, I tried to soak up as much as Peru as I could. On Thursday, we went white water rafting down the Urubamba- good stuff. I got a little nervous the further we got out of Cusco with the crew- especially when we pulled up and the crew could figure out how to put the changing tent together. But once we hit the water, th...

It seems as though in my life, mishaps are not few and far between, but frequent and funny. Thus is the case with our little excursion to Machu Picchu. Things started out alright. We went to a tour company. We booked a tour. We paid for it. We spent the rest of the weekend getting things together for the tour and relaxing. We packed. We stored o...

George Verney's day :) Things I hate about Peru! 1) I have become accustomed to eating out 3 times a day. I am going to come back down to Earth with a bump, when I'm back in England. 2) I caught Typhoid. Twice. 3) It has the highest concentration of UV rays in the whole world. You all know how red I am anyway, I certainly don't need any help the...
