Hotels in Cusco - Prices and Reviews

Bon! La grève a finalement pris fin et j'ai pu prendre mon bus pour Cusco. J'ai profité de mes trois jours pour me perdre dans la ville, goûter plein de spécialités péruviennes, ainsi que visiter le minuscule mais intéressant musée de la Coca. Pas la boisson, mais bien la plante. Les feuilles de Coca jouent un rôle particulier dans la culture an...

so we arrive in cusco after a long 9 hour drive. didnt seem like a very pretty city at first but once u get to the main square its really nice. only about 300000people live her so its faily small and nestled in amongst the mountains. got to hotel and i was actually feeling well!! it was a miracle, the antibitocis seemed to kick in immediatly and...

Well a day I've waited for seemingly my whole life .. Machu Picchu. We decided to take the fancy train from Cusco to Machu Piccu .. the Hiram Bingham (named in honor of the American from Yale who redisovered Macchu Piccu) which is operated by the same people who own the Orient Express. The train ride was amazing .. seeing the environment chance ...

Cusco is not a city to go to if you´re scared of flying...the plane has to squeeze inbetween two peaks which invloves dropping height quickly. For our first day in Cusco we decided not to do anything too strenuos as we wanted to adapt to the altitude.....unfortunately as usual this didn´t work out too well as the incan ruins we wanted to visit w...

Back again! After another night in Arequipa we've flown to Cusco - a 2 hour flight with a stop in Juliaco for 15 mins on the way. Great views of the Andes as we flew over the top of them. We have one night in Cusco and then we hit the Lares track on the way to Machupicchu so basically we have half a day to prepare for the hike. Most important - ...

And so we arrived in Cuzco, possibly the most famous city in Peru after its capital Lima and lying at an altitude of over 3000 metres. Day one in Cuzco was all about acclimatising although we also went to the local contraband market and had some more guinea pig at lunch time. The following day I was on a tour of the areas famous Inca ruins incl...

Well, for those of you that don't know, my friends nicknamed my soon-to-be stomach parasite (commonly known as the traveller's belly!!) as "Kevin". I have so far not had any contact with Kevin...but with two of the other students in the house down with him, I think he's cheating on me!! The dreaded lurgy is back as well...although thankfully I h...

Today we spent the day seeing all of the museums and sights in the city of Cusco. The place works by giving you access to 16 of the major attractions in the city on one ticket, so we got one of them and set of on shanks mare to see the city, We mainly went to see the mueseums around the city, which contained lots of INCA stuff, even a mummy from...

John slept most of the boat ride back and I drifted in and out of sleep most of the way as well. Lunch was served on the boat again - another Peruvian delight of chicken and rice steamed in a plantain leaf. Arriving at Puerto Maldonado we made the short trip to the airport and boarded a plane for Cusco. The temperature in Cusco was several degre...

Hello everyone! Well we finished the Inca Trail! It was amazing. It wasn´t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, actually except for the lack of bathing we were treated like royalty! The porters are definatly my new heroes! They are absolutly incredible. They had 60 lbs packs and would run past you like it was nothing (and we only had d...
