Cusco

Cusco- What I thought was just known for Machu Picchu, it now might be my favorite city I have visited so far. The first city of the great empire, now the undisputed archaeological capital of the Americas, is quickly becoming a modern town due to the influx of tourists. However, the historical past still retains a powerful grip on the present, and you can see that by the culture and traditions of the people. No wonder Cusco ithe continent´s oldest continuously inhabited city. In Cusco, we stayed at Casa Elena, a friend of Paul Opps who was almost motherly like. She took great care of us, gave us a great room, and offered help to us whenever we needed it. When we were in the city not visiting archaeological sites, museums, we were just hanging out in cafes, the Plaza de Armas, and just checking out the shops. Also, when we were hungry we were eating at this awesome restaurant called Jacks and this other vegetarian restaurant that Brinja thinks might have served the best veggie burgers she has tried..and only for like 3 bucks!
