Notes from another traveler
Souvieniers we brought home
To contact
Cusco
Most of our
stay in
Peru
was within a few miles of Cusco, or Cuzco, both
spellings seem to be
used. Cusco
is a city of about
300,000
and is at an elevation of
about 11,000 feet.
While there we
explored
Cusco;
shopping, visiting an Internet Cafe, eating delicious ice cream,
discovered a restaurant
with good food and entertainment, walking through
the parks with the beautiful flowers, even a casino, and always very
watchful for the cars while crossing streets. As always, we
enjoyed our contact with
the people. Well, maybe there were a few to many selling
souvenirs,
but even they added a smile or three.
In
the area are several
temples, fortresses,
markets, Urubamba
River Valley, Sacred Valley and more that you will see on other links.
