Arrival in Cusco

Cusco is amazing. It is much smaller then you would think but that makes it all the better. Once we figure out the maze of cobble stone streets we will really see what it has to offer.

Unter Gringos: Cusco

Der Flugplan der LAN zwingt uns, früh aus Arequipa aufzubrechen. Um 8:10 steht der Abflug nach Cusco an, und als wir um 7:00 am Flughafen sind, entdecken wir entsetzt riesige Menschenschlangen aus kompletten Reisegruppen. Wir erreichen unseren Flug gerade noch durch "dynamisches Anstehen", und...

Day 7

Ah, finally, Machu Picchu. Woke up early and had the place pretty much to ourselves until the first train arrived. Well worth the effort. Took the train back to Cusco and checked into the Hotel Tambo.
