Ahhh Cuzco, city of crazy drivers, children that insist that you buy finger puppets, women in colorful clothing, city that you get to like as you know it.
I had the opportunity to visit Cuzco a few times in between visits of other areas of Peru, and here I want to share some tips and make you see what it's like.

Welcome to Cuzco!

    Also known as siroche. Back in the '70 the lady who owned the hotel I stayed at made me a cup of mate de coca. That worked pretty well.

    Was a long time ago but your tips brought it all back. Thanks! I smoked back then and I was the only one who didn't feel the altitude. Used to living on thin air I guess?
