Inca Trail - Day Three

Exploring Cusco

The guys running the hostel are jerks so we opt to find a better place in the neighborhood. San Blas has a great view of the city, with narrow cobblestone streets and steep roads that in some cases only hold enough room for pedestrians. We take care of our plans for the Inca Trail and start...
