Cusco

Most people know Cusco as that place in Peru you go before heading to Machu Picchu. But it's a fascinating place in its own right, reminding me quite a bit of Cuenca (which was also a former Inca capital).

I met up with Tania and two of her friends from Mexico, pictured here not appreciating Machu Picchu.

Every now and then you see bikini clad girls advertising something for which it makes no sense. Got my attention anyway.

Affirming that this is Peru, after all.
