Cusco

After 16 hr bus ride and very chaotic border cording to Peru, I arrived in Cusco. 1st day I went to a fairly boring art museum in an old Incan fortress, then climbed the hill to Sacsayhuaman Incan ruins on the cliff overlooking Cusco. Pretty cool, then walked to some ruins and some more ruins and some more ruins. All kinda cool, but also after awhile it loses the excitement to be honest. Then caught a local bus back to the hostel. Over the next few days in Cusco I did the rainbow mountain tour, had some fun going to a bar/club with people from the hostel, checked out a couple more mediocre museums and got my shoes repaired at a repair shop. Was super cool actually, the shoe guys stand on the street pointing at your shoes and trying to get you to let them fix them. Then in a basement they have like 5 dudes with shoe repair machines and they sew and glue and melt your shoes back together. Sad we never fix things back home!

Cusco is fairly nice, very touristy but not in an annoying way, and there’s quite a lot to do. Next stop: Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu!Читать далее
