We had quite a surprise after arriving here directly from Lima and not knowing what to expect. This was only our second day in Peru, but we immediately noticed that Lima and Cuzco don't have much in common. More authentic and charming - that is Cuzco.
First photos were taken already at the airport. Band playing andean music was expecting us there giving us good indication that we arrived to a fun and tourist oriented town.

Ah, yes! The cuy at Kusikay! I remember it well. Tasted like chicken! ~ Andy
I've heard they eat guinea pig here - don't know if I'll have the guts to try it or not, but I hope to see Cusco for myself in the next couple of years!
