Moreover, I very much like Cusco. The flight from Arequipa to Cusco already was a real treat with amazing views over the Andes.
Even though Cusco is quite touristy around the main square "Plaza de Armas" it is authentic and fun as soon as you go out of the center. After having a real experience yesterday in Arequipa when I decided to have Ceviche (raw fish marinated with lime) in a local restaurant for less than EUR 1 (that is what all guide books warn you NOT to do), I was again brave enough to eat in the local market. Nevertheless, I did not go for their "special" meals that includes "cabeza".
Some more impressions:
Finally, here is one for Angie and for my friends at Juniper (I think it really is high time we set up an office in Cusco in order to avoid things like this in the future. Let me know if you need a Marketing Manager here... ;-)
Tomorrow I am going to meet up with a lovely Danish couple that I have met on the Colca trip in order to get some nice roasted guinea pig outside of town :-)
Going to bed soon as I had to get up at 3:30am today and really can do with some proper sleep. I hope the guys in "my" dorm dont snore as much as the ones in Arequipa...
Igitt igitt igitt, diese kompletten Kuhköpfe mit Augen und Remainers sind wirklich grauselig anzusehen, da vergeht einem doch der Appettit, oder?!?
ReplyDeleteAs a marketier I would even go one step further and propose to rename the town Cusco into Cisco. The local promoters and marketing material we seem to already be having there ;-) Cheers, Angie
