Today I'm in Arequipa, and finally have time to finish my post on my last days in Cusco region.
Well they were just great, visiting many Inca sites around, especially on the so-called sacred valley (of the Urubamba river) with the Inca sites of Pisac (I wouldn't recommend "climbing" up the 4 kms to the ruins from the village to my worst enemy) and Ollantaytambo (sorry for the names) on my own, using public transportation. And in itself it's an experience almost as impressive as the ruins themselves, (for instance seing and old indigen woman pissing in the street without even moving her dress as if nothing happened...) and so much more.
Anyway Cuzco and the surroundings are awesome, but were nearly insipid in comparison of the 4 days walking on the Inca trail to Machu Picchu....
I finally managed to upload more pics, and tomorrow I'll put the ones from Machu Picchu.
