Cusco

After getting back from Machu Picchu we spent a few days in Cusco.

As it was Dad's last day, we went to San Pedro de Mercado on the hunt for some souvenirs. We also ate at the cevicheria (fish bar) where you can eat fresh fish for as little as £2! I also bought some tea bags (essential as I'm really starting to crave for tea) and black quinoa also for £2.

We also went to the Inka Museum which was interesting, as we had already seen Machu Picchu so we could contextualise it very easily.

After we went for massages which is supposed to be one of the top things to do in Cusco. The massage was very relaxing but we had an interesting time with the woman in terms of paying. After negotiating the price down to 25 soles she somehow managed to get us back up to 40. It didn't really matter though because £10 for a 50 minute full body massage is still extremely cheap. After we felt tired but went out for some drinks and then dinner.

Dinner was Peruvian steak in Uchu which was absolutely divine. It was such a nice way to mark the end of Dad's time out in South America with me. 2 weeks have gone so quickly but we had a great time and managed to fit in so much.En savoir plus
