Hello everyone, South America is going so well. We arrived in Chile and made our wat to Peru. Lima was suprisingly built up but then we quickly made it to Cusco which was so beautiful. It reminds me of a little spanish town. When we arrived there was a big festival on which was very busy and we got stared at as blonde people stand out like a sore thumb!The altitude affected us quite badly at first, we found it hard to even go upstairs! We were worried about doing the inca. However, after 24 hours we seemed to adapt to the altitude so we were relieved! We spent two nights there before starting the inca trail. Were were advissed to go to a local market which we did and it was lovely to see people still useing the traditional inca way to make all the products they sell. For example, they weave alpaca wool to make clothes and they dye the alpaca wool using petals and leaves. Here are the piccys of Cusco!
