My Travel Story on Peru:
I left Canada, a connection thru Houston, USA and arrived safely at Lima, Peru. Shared a cab with another traveller to my hotel in the city. Well deserved rest was needed.
Day 2. Today I booked a City Tour to explore the surrounding, brief stop at a Piazza, than a drive by a beach and off to a site of ancient pyramid site.
After the tour I went for a nice walk around the city, looked for a local supermarket where I enjoyed a simple cup of coffee at a cafe.
I booked a flight to Cusco for the next day for 5:30 am.
With a surprise transfer of planes at some small airport between Lima and Cusco
finally reached my destination.
I stayed at a very nice hotel not to far from the main shopping Square.
Unfortunately due to the high altitude, I was quite sick for about 18 hours
as my body did not adjust right away.
Once all better I took a private tour on the Inca Ruins, enjoyed some shopping
and he sites of this amazing place.
Day 5 , 11th April 2012. Machu Picchu Tour.
