    Road to Cusco

    August 26, 2015 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C

    The trip from Puno to Cusco takes the better part of the day, with stark, beautiful scenery en route as you travel through the high
    Altiplano region. Upon arrival in Cusco we transfer to our hotel and relax for the evening.
    Cusco is the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city, and the hub of the South American travel network. The city attracts
    travelers who come not just to visit a unique destination but also to experience an age-old culture very different from their 20th
    century way of life; one could easily spend a week just in and around the area. Inca-built stone walls line most of the central streets
    and you don't have to go far to see other major Inca ruins. It is a city steeped in history, tradition and legend.
