Cusco - Gateway to Macchu Picchu

3/12/2010

Cusco is a really lovely little town, despite actually being a city of over a million people. We arrived at 6 in the morning to find revellers still in the streets after various Halloween parties, yet there was still a peaceful atmosphere and several tourist police keeping an eye on things, particularly Molly and Julia whilst they sat in the town square when I went in search of a hotel.
As with Arequipa, the focus in town was the main square, surrounded by classical spanish styled buildings and several huge churches. I expect that it would be a big destination even if Macchu Picchu wasn't close as it is a very nice climate and very relaxed. Despite the altitude, we found it easier going here than in Arequipa, possibly as the air was more moist? It was great to see green hills and mountains after over a week of desert environments. But in an effort to get through the backlog, I need to leave the photos to tell the story...........
