Cusco Archaeology and sites

Oct 12-13: A couple beautiful sunny days in Cusco ... I ventured out one morning to local arc sites. I hired an Uber to take me about 25 minutes out to Tambomachay... and then kept him for the next few hours to visit Puka Pukara, Q'enqo, and Sacsayhuaman archaeology sites. Stunning! Back to Cusco plaza de Armas in time for lunch with the gang, walking the city, and checking in at one of tour operators (Sam travel) who's arranging our guided Short Inca Trail and Machu Picchu visits in a few days. We're spending some time in Cusco 'resting' and getting acclimated before heading to Salkantay and Machu Picchu.

The symbol for Cusco - Llama, a tree, and a cornucopia



Sacsayhuaman (Prounounced like "sexy woman")







Aqueducts



Back in time for a farm-to-table lunch with Karina, Eric, Claudia, Janella. Peru has the best food!

...and ginger lime-ades with Trish and Nicole at Jack's (out local hang out)

Beautiful sunset light at the Plaza de Armas. I couldn't get enough of it.
