Cusco - our favorite stop

We all agreed that Cusco is our favorite stop in our trip. The crisp air is so refreshing. The people, the sun, the history and the food. Too bad we were always in a rush to get to somewhere else. I think the city deserves at least two full day sof time to absorb all its charm.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Historic, picturesque, nice people, good food
Cons:too many vendors
In a nutshell:A must see!

Nice page Richard. When I went, I had no problem with planes, but I had a crazy time with Perurail. 8 hours to go from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes! You can see my page. Adios.
