Cusco

It's hard to believe, that it's already our last day. It's a mixed feeling between sadness and excitement. On one hand we enjoyed every single minute of this trip on the other hand we are also looking forward to going home and seeing our friends and family. Cusco is an amazing tourist town. Every single street has cute shops, delicious restaurants and many travel agencies. There are so many sights and activities around Cusco that one could easily spend 1 or 2 weeks exploring the area. Of course most of the people travel her in order to visit famous MachuPicchu but this town has definitely more to offer then just that. We spent the whole day exploring the town, we visited the local market and temple of the sun. Up in the hill it's worth it to visit the San Blas neighborhood with white houses and many coulourful shops. The highlight of the day was the visit of restaurant Kusykay. Kusykay is rated as number 1 restaurant in Cusco and this restaurant focuses on local product and traditional andean recipes. Our waitress provided excelent service and helped us to order the best dishes we have tried on the whole trip. As a bonus this restaurant wasn't even that expensive. The main dish costs below 10€ so if you are in Cusco do not forget to visit Kusykay. In the night we had a flight to Lima. It was interesting to experience the climate change once again. Cusco is located in 3400 meters above sea level and due to close proximity to mountains it was quite cold there. Lima is on the other hand located right next to the coast in the desert and it was really warm there. The night was really short, we arrived around 23:30 to our hotel and to wake up already around 4 in the morning.Read more
