We are still in cusco although it now only a few days before we depart along the Inca trail. I managed to get a bit of walking practice in two days ago as it is very difficult to do anything at this altitude, even rolling out of bed seems to be a struggle some days.
Yesterday we walked up to an ancient Inka ruins called ?sexywoman? wher they were holding the yearly sun god festival. I think the whole of cusco had walked up the hill as it was rammed with tourists and local squashed in around the site. The whole festival was a combination of dancing, songs and music with people dressed up in bightly coloured costumes. The setting of it really made it spectacular. The festival finished with the sacrifice of a Llama and then the sun god held up the Llamas heart as an offering, sounds just like Indiana Jones, lovely local customs they have here!! Thankfully myself and the Belgium girl I?d gone up with left just before this part as the crowd had got so packed we almost got trampled on.
Last couple of days chilling in cusco, hope you are all well.
