Cusco Arrival

---

Today i landed safely in Cusco with a very light head. I met melquiades at the airport who took me to the Santa Rosa hotel. A beautiful hotel in the middle of inca stoned building. It was important to sleep for two hours to get used to the altitude.

After this i was shown around a wonderful town of Cusco, it is like going back in time with llamas patrolling the street and little old ladies selling finger puppets, inca hats and keepsakes. It is surrounded by green mountains and inca stone, as the whole town is in what effectively is a hole in the earth, a valley. Proper tomb raider stuff!!



I was also taken to Sagssaywaman, on top of the mountain where you could see the whole of the town, it was amazing. I dont have the words to describe the place, google it, or simply visit it.

Tomorrow i will go to Pisac and the sacred valley to be shown around. Then start the inca trail, 4 days of walking, on thursday.
