IN CUSCO WHILE GROUP DOES INCA TRAIL

Date for page.

We accompanied our friends to their start on the Inca Trail and returned to Cuzco to do our own sightseeing and spending part of a day on city tour. The Incas considered guinea pig, cuy, a delicacy and no trip to Cuzco could be considered complete without trying it.
