Perú/Bolivia - Part XIV (The Road to Cuzco)


Once again, we had to carry all our stuff across the border from our bus in Bolivia to our Bus in Peru... I forgot the exact reasons, but without all their emission laws, it seems strange to have some sort of registration issues... although it was something like that.
We filled out some paperwork, got some stamps in our passports and were herded back on to our new bus.
As we headed out of the Bolivian Andes and into the Peruvian Andes, this is where we witnessed the only rainfall of our entire trip, it lasted a wonderful 20 minutes, and that was that.




I honestly couldn't wait to reach Cuzco, as it was the only place we would stay a couple days... close to a week actually, finally, some downtime.
Plus it was the city where I heard many great things from my friend Evrim who had been there less than a year earlier. Not to mention it was THE Inca capital, and the closest city to the incredible site/sight of Machu Picchu.

When we arrived in the city, it was littered with people as the Inti Raymi festival (Festical of the Sun) was in full swing. It was going to be a special couple days.

We got in late, and I went straight to sleep as the next day would be a long one.
