Episode 68 Beautiful Cusco | Tupac Amaru | Plaza de Armas | Qorikancha | San Blas Plaza
We arrived in Cusco, parked in a very nice campsite above Cusco and will be waiting for Max to visit us from London. We took a walking tour of Cusco and visited the most famous attractions in town. Once Max acclimatizes to the elevation we will take trips outside town. We are planning on Machu Picchu on New Year's Eve.

We visited all places in the Sacred Valley, from Ollantaytambo to Pisac. The valley is beautiful, snakes along the Urubamba river. The weather here is great now. It is summer in South America but at this elevation the days are sunny and cool. There is so much Inca history and lots of local hand made things. #roadtripvlog #vanlifetravelvlog #travelvlog #vanlifeexplorers #campervanadventures #nat...

    This was very lovely. I had no idea that the Incas were further north than Perú. The stone walls and walkways were interesting. Modern transit that you took to the dental office. The windows and the tram car were clean. That impressed me. The streets were clean and I didn't see any trash! You mention the rolling blackouts. I remember rolling blackouts when Edwin and I were in Costa Rica. Gorgeous butterflies. So how was the non-Michelin star restaurant? What did you order? You know... you're in another country, on your own time, so what does it matter that they prepare the meals individually and you have to wait a bit! I think Americans eat too quickly and rush at dining. Miss you both.xxooxx E & G

    The basin of the caldera near the end of the episode is amazing. It reminds me of Crater Lake NP in Oregon. And that too, was like a 1/2 hike down to the water, and 2 hours up. Though not at any high altitude that you have in Ecuador. The tunnels on the way to THE WATERFALL were amazing. A little too dark, narrow and dark... I've done tunnels (with Edwin), but they are a challenge. Sometimes I couldn't see 'light' at the end... yours were pretty open. I think the structure of the walkways is interesting. The solid rocks/sand are well planned. Not a lot of signage... so you're really seeing unspoiled land. Also I'm familiar with the name Cotopaxi - it's the name of a company that makes colorful outdoor gear. (You know me, I never met a handbag I didn't like!!). Check your email. Love you both. Besos to you. E&G.
