Machu Picchu & Cuzco
It's been a while since our last update, and at the moment we have left Peru behind and we are in Argentina.
Our last days in Peru we spent in Cuzco and ofcourse we visited touristic attraction numner one:Machu Picchu!
Because we didn't have that many days left, we didn't do the Inca trail, but comfortably took the three hour train rideand enjoyed the nice views.
We arrived in thelittle townAguas Calientes, where there is nothing moreto do than get rippedoffinone of the touristicrestaurants or go to the hot springs (three rather pathetic looking bassins withstrangely brownish water...) and ofcourse getting eaten by the local insects.
The next morning we woke up early to catch one of the first busses to Machu Picchu that left at 05:30 hrs. When we arrived we walked around at bit and then climbed mountain Wayna Picchu, where we had a beautiful view over Machu Picchu.
The climb to the top was tough and after enjoying the view we climbed down on the other side to see the 'great cave'. The trip turned out to be better than the actual cave. Wewalked on small stone steps and most of the time with a drop of several hundred meters down to the valley below.
Back in Cuzco we checked out the city, which is very nice with very nice buildings. Somehow Allan picked up food poisoning, maybe because he tries to eat everything he hasn't tried before,and he spent a day making prayers and offerings to the great white toilet god.
These days where our last in Peru, we then flew via Bolivia (again) to Salta in Argentina where new adventures awaits...
