Cusco, Peru

We had an overnight hotel in Cusco and met a guide in the morning for a tour of the city, its sights and history.
We started out at an ancient tiered ruin built in a similar way to Machu Picchu with the stones, terraces and angled walls. It's name is Sacsayhuamán and they pronounce is like 'sexy woman'. It has the same terraces, precise stone work and trapezoidal angles. We walked up into the sight for some great views of the city, surrounding mountains and the valley below.
Then we visited the Spanish-built portions of Cusco. They have many plazas and churches all within walking distance in the city. Plaza de Armas, Plaza de Armas fountain, Coricancha Temple and San Cristóbal Church were main points in the city. Our time with Hogar our guide ended, and we had some free time. We had lunch in the main square, and Scott went way out of his comfort zone and had guinea pig. He was not a fan, neither was I. It was kinda fatty and tough. .Our driver picked us up to go to the airport to fly back to Lima.Read more
