"Kodak moment or not?" Cusco Tourist Trap Tip by jackfruit

Cusco Tourist Traps: 17 reviews and 11 photos

 
 

You will encounter a lot of locals dressed in local garb, walking alongside these beasts of burden, stop you on the street to take a picture of them. Well, jsut remember that they arent interested in being in the picture, but rather your money. If that shot of the llama or alpaca is that important to you, make sure you will not be hassled once the picture is taken.

Unique Suggestions: Take a shot from afar like I did, or make sure you negotiate the price of the shot.
