... and bus prices, not to mention the entrance fee of Machupicchu, it was wort it! The night was spent at a local fun club in Cusco called Mama Africa.<br><br>15th October<br>We went to eat breakfast at McD's at 12, then we took a cab up to a statue over Cusco, very similar to the one in Rio (wich of course we are gonna visit while in Brazil). After the statue, I tried to find a ...

Cuzco, Peru avi_einat... dropped at the trek start point and introduced to our fellow trekkers, which thankfully were not on our bus as they seemed a bit whiney.<br>Group members were: Pedro (Portugal), Carolina and Linda (Germany), Sim (Brighton), Andrea (Romania), Julian and Alexia (Belgium), Estelle (France) and finally Victor from Amsterdam. All were very nice and after a quick breakfast we were marched off up the first hill. <br>Initial altitude was about 2800m and we were on our way to 3600m to camp. Day 1 ...
Cusco, Peru garyjampot... and ferns. In some parts I could swear I was in the Coromandel the flora was so similar. It was very slow going for me with puck-oo ankles, but with some determination and 7kms later, we made it to our camp at Winaywayna at 2700m with fantastic views of the Urubamba River.<br><br>From my tent I could see Machu Picchu mountain, but the settlement was at much lower altitude so the mountain view only it was. <br><br>SHOWER!! Equivalent of $10NZ for ...
Cusco, Peru frances.bates... night at 10 pm, I hopped on a bus back to La Paz. I messed up and did not get the direct bus - stopped in Puno, again in Copacabana and finally arrived here in La Paz about 3pm on Friday. A long, long night & day in the bus!<br><br>Tomorrow, I´m headed back to the bus station to check tickets to Buenos Aires - direct or maybe a few stops along the way =)<br><br>
Cusco, Peru lasondra... music here is cracking me up - in Copacabana I heard The Eagles ´Hotel California´ played on the traditional Andean pan flute. Now normally, I like that song, BUT on the flute, it is not so good =) There is a part in the chorus that trills up and I laugh out loud every time I hear it! And I heard it in La Paz and again on the bus!!! <br><br>Today, going to get tickets for ...
Cusco, Peru lasondra... go see some more Inca stuff. Pisac itself is a nice little town full of hippy shops selling coca products and ethnic jewellery and the like and there is a large market in the square selling the usual Peruvian touristy wares. <br><br>I didn't hang around for too long before setting off for the archaeological site of Pisac. I didn't know too much about it, just that it's another Inca site and is reached by climbing a steep hill. Well, yes, steep indeed it was. Extremely. What I ...
Cusco, Peru lisa.gillespie... the city and also in the sacred valley, climbing steep hills and numerous steps, altitude sickness here we come!<br><br>Caught a glimpse of the flimsy train we are going to spend 3 hours on today getting to Aguas Caliantes in preparation for our trip to Machu Picchu tomorrow before returning to Cusco for 2 nights.<br><br>Will update you on Machu Picchu on our return.<br><br>D & K<br><br>P.S.

Cusco, Peru damien_kelly... rua. Muito interessante! Gostei do artesanato do Peru, é bonito e há uma infinidade de coisas!<br><br>Continuamos subindo até um mirante de onde pudemos ver toda a cidade! É muito bonita! As montanhas ao redor, as casas subindo por elas, a praça vista de longe...Eu gosto muito daqui!<br>Uma coisa um pouco ruim é que o ar é muito seco, chega a incomodar quando você respira. Mas eu nao posso reclamar, porque nem me senti mal pela altitude! Os ...
Cusco, Peru thaysmb... Then of course theres lots of old Inca ruins to see but at this point of the trip I feel we ve already seen sooo many ruins and are about to see the most famous one of all in a few days that I dont need to spend more money to see more ruins..<br><br>The city is really touristy and every few minutes someone asks you if you wanna buy their llama hats/jewellry/paintings/cigarettes, have a massage (might be ...
