That was our two days and three nights in Paracas. We were then picked up the next morning and rode the bus back to Lima to the airport. There we were to fly to Cusco. Cusco is a large city in the mountains of Peru. It is considered a stepping stone to Manchu Picchu because it gives you a chance to get accustomed to the altitude. Cusco is at 11, 150 feet MSL. We were taken to our hotel and told to rest for the rest of the day to get used to the environment. We were accustomed to this altitude because our Cabin in Colorado is at 11,500 feet so instead of resting we walked about Cusco.
We were in Cusco a couple times during this trip. Once on the way to Manchu Picchu and once on the way back. Each time we did walk abouts and tours. I will label the highlights.

That was Cusco and the surrounding area. Again, we were here two different days but enjoyed both visits. We had a full day to walk around and explore Cusco. A delightful old city. We found the highest Irish Pub in the world at Cusco … at least that’s what they claimed.
