Cusco Lodges - Reviews and Rates

Having arrived in LIMA, caught a bus the same day to Cusco - heart of the Incan Empire. Explored the city for 2 days including a horseback ride to local ruins, and visited some Spanish Colonial Churches. After much debate about how to visit Machu Pichu - decided to hike the Salkantay Trek , 5 days/4 nights. One of the most amazing hikes and expe...

As soon as we arrived in Cusco we went to the Doctors to get Mark sorted. It was quite amusing as he was given a foam cup and a ice-cream scoop and told to provide a sample. It was all in Spanish, so I was the translator. I spent about 5 minutes verifying what sort of sample the Doctor wanted, as I didn´t want us to produce something that was no...

After spending a great few days in Puno (at one of the best hostels ever!) am now in Cusco, capital of the ancient Incan empire. Took a slow route here spending time at the temples of Raqchi and Andahuaylillas (where we got an amazing rainbow!!!!). Cuzco is great, the bars are good and Loki is a good place to stay (bit of a party hostel so it ge...

Wow, so much has happened in the last week it is hard to remember it all. We left Arequipa via bus last Sunday, spent a couple of days in Puno, went to a couple of islands in Lake Titicaca spending a night on one of those islands, spent a couple more days in Puno, and yesterday (Friday) we took the bus from Puno to Cusco, where we are now. We lo...

All bus and no plane make Niall a dull boy. All bus and no plane make Niall a dull boy. All bus and no plane make Niall a dull boy. All bus and no plane make Niall a dull boy. 15 bloody hours on a fridge converted into a bus to get from Nasca to Cusco. Most horrible journey ever. On the Plus side we had our first rashers and sausages for breakfa...

Sorry no picture of the students today, as the photographers were holding their plastic bags. Altutude plus doddgy driving = sick kids and leaders! Nearly lost one of our Paddington, to a little peruvian girl on the coach but rescued it! Lets not mention the overflowing toilets on the bus! But we are all feeling better after a lovely meal. Most ...

So we got out of bed this morning and were heading for Cusco. The great thing about being here (in Peru) at the moment is that it is low season and you don´t need to book a thing and can even haggle down in price a bit due to the despearation of a few... I just might add that we had pancakes and fruit for breakfast this morning... Was devine! I ...

Nous nous sommes levés à cinq heure trente. Après un bon déjeuner, nous avons enfilé nos bottes de pluie. Nous avons fait plusiers type de ballade : bateau à moteur, marche dans la boue (oui encore), bateau à rammes, autre bateau sans que l'on ramme. L'aventure a été exténuante, mais comme j'en suis fière. Àprès deux heures de marche dans la bou...

Saviez-vous que... - je recevrai le même montant d'argent pour cinq mois d'enseignement ici que les trois semaines faites en Corée du Sud ? - que ça côute 0,60$ pour un taxi roulant une distance de plus de quatre kilomètres (il n'ont pas de parcomètre) ? - tout se négocie, même dans les pharmacies ? - que le papier hygiénique va dans les poubell...

Inca trail tomorrow! Yay! Its raining season, so well prob be drenched for the 4 days. btw cant work out the apostrophe on this keyboard, so will have to do without. Been drinking way too much since staying at the brewery hostel. But theres hopefully no alcohol on the inca trail, my body needs a bit of a rest. For those thinking, why cant you ju...
