Tourist trap by Pernille

Street vendors and shopkeepers were on our back all the time. We got ripped off more than once. But hey, what can you expect in one of the most touristic towns of Peru?

In my own opinion, if you manage to keep the hasslers off your back, it’s a nice place.

PS – Tip for future travellers: on your flight Lima-Cusco, sit on the left side of the plane (and on your flight Cusco-Lima, sit on the right), the view is awesome!

The Cusco region has a very diverse landscape where elevated alignments of mountains with vast altiplanos and plateaus with slight surfaces and deep valleys and canyons are mixed.

The valley of Urubamba shows alluvial terraces in its thick soils where a strong population dedicated to agriculture is established. The Urubamba river, under 2000 m, has formed a deep and narrow canyon which reaches all its beauty close to Machu Picchu, showing a rare landscape of bends. Due to the diversity of soil altitudes, the region has a great variety of climates and landscapes, which have strongly influenced on agriculture and the distribution of population.
