It is in fact an astonishing city with a bright history, a fabulous cathedral, and however, loads of gringos!
We stayed at a homely nice and cosy Hostal just two squares from Plaza de Armas, hosted by a charming old Cuzqueño, who whispered in perfect English and mysteriously smelled of chocolate.
The real attractions around Cusco are the historical sites of the "Sacred Valley of the Incas", such as the massive mountain fortress of Ollantaytambo and of course the most famous of all: MACHU PICCHU.
Today we spent no less than 8 hours wandering around, glancing, marvelling at this spectacular monument ontop of a green mountain. Until today it remains an unsolved mystery.
To put it straight, Machu Picchu undoubtly deserves being a World Wonder.
Unfortunately internet connections in this country are mostly excruciatingly slow, which is why sometimes we cannot upload photos. Lo siento! Rest assured, that we will always upload nice pictures as soon as possible.
