| Cuzco Town |
Peru has been in the plans for me for two years now; and despite the altitude risk; enormous distance and hours of air travel—I was determined to go up to Machu Picchu before end of February. And boy, was it worth it. Long trip from Las Vegas to Lima and on to Cuzco where 3400 meters altitude hit you like a rock. I spent sometime in modern Peru, doing the museums, seaside and the famous food of Lima. On to Cuzco, the capital of the Incas for hundreds of years and the main point where roads in south America met.
