RE: Travel Pro On The Move #5: Lima Peru to Cusco Peru! Part One (7 minute video)
Enjoy Cusco!
It is a very nice colonial like town. The food is still delicious anywhere you'll go and it is fairly safe to walk around. The locals always can tell you where to avoid, but the main square areas around the cathedral is very safe.
Will you be going all the way to Machu Picchu?
Sorry to burst your bubble. But Like a TV show, everything is a few weeks in the past. Takes time to go through the videos, photos, makes the post. I was in Cusco about 3 weeks ago. Was fantastic. I skipped out on Machu Picchu as it was just a touristy mess with a lot of travel and expense I didn't care to deal with. I preferred to just enjoy the historic city and take it easy. Much more my style. Thanks for your interest in my blog. I'm now in Santiago Chile and in abut a month I'll be posting lots of things on this place. I tried Alapaca for my first time in Cuso. Was delicious! Thanks again! -Dan
I was curious as to what was the lag time on your blog. This is very reasonable.
I only asked about Machu Picchu because the train there is a journey in itself. 7 different microclimates and settings just on the way there. Although it is a "touristy" item, it was is very much worth it once you arrive and can explore the ruins.
I do understand the budget part though.
Again, thanks for taking us along.
I totally would have done it if I was traveling with a girlfriend like I have in the past. Things like that I kind of shy away from now, as I prefer to share those types of experiences with a partner I care about. But there is always the next destination, so I don't really get that feeling of missing out ever.
