I will summarize Peru in 1 word: awesome.
Other than the 24 hour flights we had to and from Cusco, we had a great time.
We spent the first couple days getting acclimated to the elevation in Cusco, then headed to Pisaq, about a 30 minute taxi ride from Cusco. We hiked the mountain, which was all steps(dislike), and learned that sunblock is probs a smart thing to wear. My skin was bubbling by the end of the trip because of this hike. Lame.
Then off the Macchu Picchu we went! Well we started our 4 day trek through the Andes. It was beautiful and it hardly rained. 1 Negative: Inca steps. One day we hiked for 4 hours up steps, then had to descend another 3 hours down steps. Then had to do it basically again. Extreme.
The food was great, the views were amazing and the tour guide taught us all about the Incas and the Spaniards.
I totally recommend this trip to anyone that can deal with some exercise and loves views and history.
Here's some pics!!
(P.S. if you ever go to Lima, don't buy jewelry from guys on the street. Fake $50 said whhaaat)
