The second day Dad was in Cuzco with me, after allowing for some hotel relaxation to adjust to the altitude, we went on a double-decker bus tour of the city to all the major sights.
 |
| Starting in the main plaza, we saw the Cathedral the Spanish built on the sight of the Inca palace. |
 |
| Lima is the capital of Peru, but a lot of business goes through the former Inca capital and second biggest Peruvian city. |
 |
| A giant mural, the biggest in Latin America, depicting the story of the Inca. |
 |
| A character shot of Cusquenian streets. Drink Inca Kola |
 |
| Should have put this one at the start of the post. |
 |
| Peruvian building practices, complete with sticks. |
 |
| Donated by Brazil, Cristo Blanco is only 8m high, far less than Rio's 40m redeemer. |
 |
| View of the main plaza from afar. I wish I knew how to take those cool macro shots that make everything look like a diorama. |
 |
| Adorable. |
 |
| Maybe the alpacas remember the secrets of these stones. |
 |
| For a sense of scale, those people are right next to the stones of Saqsayhuaman. |
 |
| Sprawling down the sacred valley. |
 |
| This is the first street the Conquistadors came down. The Incas had never seen horses, or steel. |
