We went from Puno to Cusco with the lovely posh first class bus company, complete with a toilet, beverages of coca tea and coke, a buffet lunch, and an entertaining tour guide!
The inca ruins were intriguing, as was the Jesuit church filled with a combination of Andean and Christian art.
Even more so was a stretch of towns:
- Land of the bread bakers
- Land of the fried pork
- Land of the guinea pigs
Now, we handled the bread bakers just fine. Apparently all the bread sold in Cusco is from bakers who get up at 12 midnight, to bake the bread and have deliver it by morning.
And sure, land of the fried pork was ok too. The town was filled with restaurants with fried pork, not too much else.

Then we came to the guinea pig land. Guinea Pig is considered gourmet, a specialty in Peru. Families in this land have at least 25 guinea pigs each, to ensure there is an adequate supply for roasting. I donĀ“t like this at all.

We are currently in Cusco(and have yet to try guinea pig).
Off to decide which bar we should visit from an array of free passes, and free drinks to choose from!
