Cuzco

From Arequipa, we moved on to Cuzco and stayed for two and a half weeks with some friends from Buenos Aires. A lot happened in Cuzco, including getting robbed. We went off on the Salkantay trek (which was amazing) and while our friends remained asleep some robbers entered their apartment and took a great deal. I lost my computer and other items but had my camera, passport, and debit card with me so that was a plus. Nobody was hurt and that is the most important thing. This is why there are no pictures for the moment.

Cuzco itself is a pleasant city but extremely touristy and is becoming more dangerous (our own experience aside). It was the heart of the Inca Empire and has many beautiful old relics.
