We flew into Lima and arrived late in the evening, the next morning we caught a quick flight to Cusco, the starting off point for Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Cusco is an interesting old city, nestled in the mountains of Peru. We met up with our friends Robert and Susannah who were leaving Peru later that day. They were off to Buenos Aires and moving back to San Francisco, they will be missed in Buenos Aires! We had two different nights in this city on either side of visiting Machu Picchu. This is the town where everyone who is traveling has to gradually get adjusted to the extremely high altitude and tiredness. We visited a Pre-Colombian museum that was very nicely curated with artifacts and artwork (especially ceramic) from the Incan period as well as neighboring tribes of that time and before.
