Cusco - May 23

Arrive at 8:30 AM. The city is spread out for great distances across the hills surrounding the city. On the drive to the hotel roadless shanty towns dot the hillsides.

Lots of traffic. Major social problems are the many dogs roaming the city; smog from cars and trucks; and the influx of people from the rural villages.

Toured Sacsayhuaman (zig-zag puma), Qorikancha (temple of the sun), the Central Plaza (Plaza de Armas), and ate at two Peruvian restaurants (Quinoa Soup !!!).

Easy city to walk around. Great views of the surrounding mountains.

I've attached some pictures and will add some comment to them.
