Historic Qosqo

We have arrived in Cusco (a.k.a. Qosqo in Quechua) and are settling in to our new altitude. The flight down here was beautiful, and so far the city has a very different feel from Lima. It's not tiny, but it has a nice and small town feel to it. There are small cobblestone streets and many locals hanging out in the parks. Cusco reminds Rachel of a smaller version of Quito, Ecuador.

Today and tomorrow we will do some light sight-seeing, including some Inca cultural museums and historic churches. Monday morning we start hiking the Inca Trail, the first of our "must-do" destinations!Leia mais
