Peru Trip Report - Part II

Cusco and the Inca Empire

CuscoOn our tour to Peru and Machu Picchu, we spent a couple of days in the ancient Inca city of Cusco.   We had a terrific group of 16 travelers with us on our private tour of Cusco.  The 12,000 foot altitude can be a little bit of a challenge, but upon our arrival in Cusco, we took it easy with some coca tea, got settled into our more-than-comfortable rooms in our Colonial-style hotel.  We took a brief tour of the San Pedro market, a food market like you have never seen before, and had dinner at the wonderful Chi Cha, restaurant owned by the famous chef Astrid Acurio.  The next day we hopped on the bus for our private tour of Cusco.  Read the blog post for more.
