Day in Cuzco

 

Day 3:

I had an early breakfast of Tamales because I had to catch the early Cruz Del Sur(bus) to Cuzco. The ticket was only $45 dollars for second class and the bus ride was an hour and a half away. I arrive in Cuzco a couple hours before midday. Many say people just blow through Cuzco but, the Plaza de Armas was jam packed full of civilians trying to sell their products. During the process of fighting my way through the crowds, I ended up buying a carving of a llama, a necklace, and coaxed into buying 3 Polleras (skirts). I am able to find my hotel, the Monasterio and check in. I head back out for some lunch and try Rocotos Rellenos (stuffed peppers). I go to the Cuzco Cathedral which is extremely extravagant and astonishing. It was built in 1550 and even withstand an earthquake in 1650. I eat Empanadas de Pollo (Chicken Empanadas) for dinner and head back to my hotel to relax.
