The Sacred Valley of the Incas Our second day in Cuzco, we take a tour through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, located near the Cuzco in a valley located on the banks of the river Vilcanota. The first stop was down to the valley at a site of breeding “llama” (typical animal of the entire Andean…

We left Lima and took an early morning flight into Cusco. It's a short flight from Lima to Cusco, so we arrived around noon. I could immediately feel the effect of the high altitude - shortness of breath and slightly dizzy. Prior to my trip to Peru, I saw my doctor and got a prescription for a d…

Outside of Cuzco lies Urubamba Valley. Here are some pictures!The  pictures I took at the llama/alpaca farm are from "Awana Kancha."

    In the morning I had a paragliding session booked for 9, but in my drunken haze had forgotten to set my alarm.  The agency came for me at 10 though, so I stumbled out of bed and almost directly into their taxi.  I once again took the long ride out to the Sacred Valle…

There we were, back in Cuzco again. Back in our hostel Apu Wasi. Tired but happy. At least most of us. Dan was doing bad again and went directly to bed. Hopefully some sleep would help, the following day we had our trip to Puno by the famous Titicaca Lake. What I really needed at that moment…

First thing. Taxis. Anywhere not withing walking distance, you're pretty much going to have to use them. But they're dirt cheap and fun to ride in. They ARE going to try to rip you off. They see white faces and see $$. So kinda be wary and ask more than one taxi how much it is to different places y…

And over there u can go to Macchu Picchu! nominated to be one of the SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD!!! This place is full of history!!!! is just …

My second day began with yet another frigid, frigid shower. I have yet to figure out the trick to hot water and can't handle more than a few splashes under that water! Holy gods, it makes your bones ache it is so cold. I went down to make breakfast, to be greeted by the brother of the owner, Julio…

Thursday 28 Feb, 2008We woke up super early to the sound of our wake-up call. I answered it cause Chris was oblivious. :-P The call came at about 5:00am so we were kinda slow getting ready. Augusta was supposed to meet us with a taxi at 5:55am and I didn't get down for breakfast until 5:30 or so. T…

The day after Macchu Picchu, we all had a free day in Cusco. I probably should have spent the day exploring the city's ruins and museums, but I was a little citied-out by then and decided to go white water rafting, which I'd never done before. So, on a sunny Tuesday morning I found myself on a mini…

I arrived in Cusco from Puno around 3:00 am, so had to catch a taxi to a hostal. There was a very nice gentleman who recommended the Hospedaje Inka at a great price. I was so exhausted from the 7 hour bus ride (with NO stops along the way for us to eat or leave the bus) that I was happy to try it o…

 We had a very nice flight from Lima with LAN Peru, what a change from American airlines, the food was good, the service excellent, the plane was on time, it was clean and comfortable. If I have to travel and LAN Peru is available, I will try it again. As soon as we got settled in the hotel …
