Cusco

Two words to describe Cusco.

Combat Tourism!

Since Cusco is the heart of Peru tourism, many good and bad things come along with it. Good things include good food and comfortable living. Bad are in your face pressure sales and sky high prices. There are more gringos here than any place else we´ve been. That is not a bad thing since we have been able to talk to many people about tours and activities around town. Jane and I are staying an San Blas which seems to be a nice quiet area still close to the center. There is much to see around Cusco. We have already completed a horseback riding tour of the surrounding ruins.


Tomorrow morning, Jane and I are off to do the jungle trek which ends at Machu Picchu.
