Oct 20-22: Trish, Nicole and I are ending the trip in Cusco to rest, explore, shop, see a show, and take in this beautiful city. Such an intense and incredible experience. The weather turned rainy and cold... which was actually perfect for museums, shopping, massages sitting by the fire, and catching up on work.
Returning to Sacsayhuaman - Uber to the top, walking down down down to our Casona
A brewery enroute back the hotel - perfect!
This is Nicole's beautiful gourd purchase
Nicole purchased some baby alpaca hats (super soft) - and the store owner is a
shaman who blessed the items for her
View near our dinner place - organic farm-to-table for the win!
Brenna and I walked in lovely San Blas (up uphill) from where our lodging was near the plaza
Trish, Nicole and I came here for lunch - the best best best
Low light on the plaza. 100 photos.
We were making use of our tour ticket - access to several sites in Cusco and Sacred Valley. It turns out, you don't really need to pre-purchase this... or you can buy passes at most sites.
Bell tower
Sunset view
An actual mummy on display
Very nearby performance hall (also our boleto pass)
I think my 3rd favorite restaurant - pumpkin soup and chicha morada
My favorite: ceviche and chicha morada. Food is art there.
This is a "garden salad." So friggen delicious.
Nicole and I hired foot/leg massages from a ton of vendors on the plaza. SO so so good!
Thank you, Casona de Recoleta! Thank you Peru!!!
