We've been exploring Cusco while we wait for our December first departure on the Inka Trail. Four days hiking, three nights camping and more Incan ruins than a llama can spit at.
Phil and I have walked, jogged and climbed the city of Cusco over the last few days. Our normal proceedure is to find our way out of the tourist areas as quickly as possible, Cusco has been no different in this reguard. The tourist areas are very expensive, vendors are unrelenting and you miss the true vibe of the city. In our explorations of this beautiful city we have found more chuches than there are people to fill them and a really good chicken shack (better than Howards if you can believe it), and Incan stone walls that would blow anyones' mind. We'll post more photos when we return from hiking the Inka Trail.
Just a side note: our guide to Mismi, in his infinite wisdom, gave us the incorrect elevation of Mismi mountain. We checked and found the true hight to be 16,668 feet. This explains why Phil was sucking wind the whole time!
Adios for now, Jeff.
