Cusco



Next morning after a good nights sleep, headed to the airport to catch the internal flight to Cusco.

Cusco was the capital in the days of the Inca, but was moved to Lima shortly after the Spanish conquered the Incas in 1532. Pisarro with 180 men defeated the huge empire of the Incas. I am reading up on the history.



Cusco is at 10,200 ft and the plan is to spend a few days at this altitude to acclimatise.


Meet up with group - 34 of us!
Here is a photo of me with Alistair (who I had met at lendrick on the firewalk course
Notice my new sweater - there are hundreds of shops in Cusco selling lovely alpaca clothes at very cheap prices.
