Cusco, Day 1

Upon my arrival in Cusco, I proceeded immediately to Pisko & Soul... A lovely hostel...





... in the San Blas barrio.



Stunning vistas waited just outside the door.


The beauty of Cusco far surpassed my expectations.






The famous Plaza de Armas, with its lofty cathedrals and emerald-green fountain, swarms with locals plying their wears to the d of tourists always passing through.



Andean women wear native dress and pose for pictures for donations.



Unfortunately, I only enjoyed a cursory survey of the historic district before beginning to feel poorly. A 22-hour bus-ride and 11,000 foot change of elevation will do that to you. So I decided to spend the night in. Ah, well.
