We got back to Cusco and were picked up at the airport by our travel agent friend Milagro from SAS who had found a couple of alternative places to stay for our last five nights in Cusco.  We ended up opting for the Plaza de Armas hostal which overlooks the main square and actually had both hea…

We arrived to Cuzco on one of the last buses that ran before the start of the transportation strike.  WE quickly found a taxi and then made our way to the hostel that i had randomly picked.  The taxi dropped us off about 100 meters from our hostel because the hill leading up to the place …

After our adventures of last night, today was pretty calm really.  In the morning, all the shops were closed and there were very few people about, not even the shoe shine boys or painting sellers (michelangelo, Picasso and Bon Jovi were taking the day off!).  We could hear quite a bit of …

      Today we spent the morning hours at our hostel using the Internet and doing a couple loads of laundry . Since we had just returned from the Inca Trail, I had a lot of work to do on my travel blog, which occupied most of my morning. Meanwhile, Karen and Jason took on t…

Our last Peruvian bus ride!  Nope not going to miss them.  Luckily, this time we were back on Cruz del Sur, so no breakdowns or being slowly killed by toxic fumes.  We traveled from Cuzco, 10,912 feet, to Puno, 12,600 feet, so we had to do a little altitude adjustment.  Puno is …

Cusco is a beautiful and lovely city :)) If you're going to Peru or South America you cannot skip this perfectly preserved colonial city and of course the new wonder of the world Machu Picchu... Take a look at the pics and see what is expecting for you there :))

I arrived in Cusco, Peru on the 8th of November.  Its such a cute little city in the middle of the mountains but a little swamped with tourists.  Nonetheless it was my first experience in a town like this and my second South American country so I was very impressed.  It was also the …

I kept a journal while in Peru.  It's a few years old, and I typed it up all as one entry, mainly because I have no idea what the exact dates are.  Headings indicate the basic setting for each entry. Written on the plane to Lima:           &…
