Today is spent organising a tour to Matchu Pitchu. The Inca Trail is not available because I couldn’t get organised enough to pre-book so I’ve decided to do a 2-night, 3-day bike/hike tour that will give me a whole day at Matchu Pitchu. I arrive back in Cuzco late Wednesday night and fly out for Lima mid-day Wednesday.
The rest of the day is given to wandering the streets if Cuzco. There is plenty of activity on this Saturday with markets, parades and people everywhere going about their business.
The air here is thin and I’m suffering slightly with forced breathing and slight headaches. They recommend you drink a tea made out of cocoa leaves and it is readily available so I do that when I can.
