Cusco is a beautiful, if uber-touristy city. It´s practically dripping in history. I´ve seen all sorts of Inca walls, and Spanish colonial churches and buildings and such. A push towards the city´s cultural history means that the Inca flag is all over - not actually the ancient flag, but the new version, but still. It´s neat to be in a place so passionate about its cultural roots... even if it´s partly a show for the tourists.
I leave tomorrow morning on my Machu Picchu trek. Day one is mountain biking, days two and three are hiking. Day four is the lost city itself! I am sooooooo stoked... all of my nerdy tendencies are showing!
I cannot believe there are only two weeks left in my wanderings...
