Cusco Hotels Reviews and Rates

Chilling, chores and preparation.

Wednesday 23rd. Had such a lazy day today, we managed a 10am lie in which was awesome. We are both noticing that our dreams are very strange I never thought traveling away from home would drag up such crazy stuff. I seem to be going home in my sleep a lot and talking to family and friends about stuff and then waking up and feeling like I have …

Cusco: Sacred Valley and 3-Day Rafting Trip

Getting back from our 5-day trek to Machu Picchu, we rest a bit and embark for another trip: a 3-day rafting trip on the Apurimac river nearby Cusco. We sign up with the agency Mayuc located on the Plaza de Armas in Cusco and we really have a great time on the river. Not a quiet river since we go through class 4 and 5 rapids, the scenery is …

Soaking up Cusco culture

Well eventually we managed to get some internet access albeit a little antiquated. The flights from Sao Paulo to Lima and then to Cusco (use this spelling to pick up the map facility - however everyone else spells it with a Z) were extemely good. I would recommed TACA and LAN airways to anyone - very efficient and courteous. The flight into Cusco …

Day 2 - I'm a wandering

I woke up around 6:30am today with a mild headache. Figured I should have listened to the suggestions I suppose. Well I decided to take a ibuprofin and snooze for another 90min. Got up after 8am, took a shower (nice water pressure!) and headed to breakfast at 9am. They made some good scrambled eggs which I proceeded to make into an egg McPita thing …

Last days of our adventure

Machu Pichu was one of the top experiences of our trip. We canīt believe we only have a few days to go before we fly back to Australia.

There were 11 others on our 4 night 4 day trek to Machu Pichu along the Inca Trail. We all got along really well and our two guides were great. The porters (our group had 14) carried about 25kg each up and …

Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail

Cusco must be the most touristy town I've been to on my trip and we arrived there at 6am after an overnight trip from Puno. To be honest I didn't like Cusco too much even though it had some excellent architecture on offer. I think was put me off was all the people trying to sell/hassle you, the fact that there was a Paddy O'Neil's pub or Big Mama's …

Not one for the parents

Last day of school at Amuata. I now have the nerves and anxieties that I expect most people get before they get on the plane out of the UK. As Iīve been to Cusco before, had Jane and Tom waiting in the wings, I wasnīt at all worried about getting to Peru, it was a bit been-there-done-that. Now Iīm due to leave all that behind and really start the …

Cusco, the capital of the Inca empire

From Arequipa we took a short flight, one hour twenty minutes to Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire.We were staying here for one night before begining the Inca trail. After the Inca trail we were then staying a futher 5 nights in Cuzco. Cuzco was by far the nicest city I have been in in South America. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere with a …
