Cusco was an unexpected surprise. A sprawling city at over 3000 metres above sea level, it instantly leaves you breathless when you arrive. And that's because of the views, not the altitude sickness!
Llamas are the animal/livestock/pet of choice. Such a versatile thing, the fur is used for beanies, scarfs, socks and jumpers. The leather is used for rope, bracelets, saddles and god knows what else. Not to sure what they do with the meat though (too far?!).
In true Peruvian style, the flags are also out in force here. And they even graffitied their patriotic feelings onto the side of a mountain. As you do.
Oh, and there's some real charm in the simplicity of this place. The food is amazing, the people are friendly and the sun is shining. What's not to love?
