month in Peru Hi,
I came across your blog in search of more information about the Sacred Valley. I'm staying with a local family for 2 weeks in Cusco while brushing up on my Spanish. I was thinking it would make sense to get the Tourist Ticket and use my 1/2 days of free time to see the ruins and make bus runs to different towns.
Based on your comments, it sounds like this would be a good plan. Like you, I would be annoyed at being stuck with a tour group. I'm more interested in the local culture and history. I've been told it's easy to pick up a guide in the town center. I'm sure there will be other students at the school interested in seeing the sights, so perhaps we could hire a guide/taxi driver to show us what matters to us.
Ideas and thoughts?
btw, I agree on TLP guide uselessness. I bought the 2nd ed. of the Viva Peru guide based on the table of contents at Amazon and I'm thrilled with it.
