just a small update as I don´t have much time ( tomorrow I am going to do the jungle trail that would lead me up to machu picchu) I've been in Cusco for two days now and I am convinced I could have stayed here for at least two weeks, so much stuff to do! negative side of the "stuff" is - it is really expensive (2h train ride to machu picchu -70USD !! entrance fee- 50USD! ) Even if I am here in a low season, tourists are everywhere, and 80% of locals try to sell you sth - as this is +- percentage of cusceños working in tourism...and it is very disturbing..
As I said...Cusco is awefuly tourist-oriented, which isn´t a huge suprise as apart from machu picchu this city has 10 other inca y preinca sights nearby !
Today I've seen two of them : the aqueduct and the fortress - I am not giving you any pics again, as the internet I am using is a shit and it would take me...too much.
This update is also to mention that communication with me within these 4 days will be complicated as I will be in a jungle doing my expensive gringo tour...explanation good enough I think....
warm hugs from the cold-cold Cusco ( city with 300000 habitants which lies 900m higher than the highest polish pick! )
Maja, thanks for all that infos, which allow us to follow/join your trips. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWróciliśmy własnie ze słonecznej Andory (Pireneje)gdzie choc w tym roku mało śniegu (20-60cm), to codziennie swieciło słoneczko i dało sie fajnie jeździć. Też wysoko, bo hotel na wysokości 1500m a wyciagi 2000-2500m - niżej nie ma śniegu.
Byliśmy tez w Barcelonie jak i zaglądnęliśmy do tego lokalu Grześka, niestety nie zastaliśmy go.
