We are at the end of our trip. We are going to spend the day in Cusco. There is a lot to see here, from the cathedral(s) to walking around and the ruins not too far… We had breakfast at the Marqueses hotel. Nothing spectacular. Beautiful hotel, but nothing special honestly. We went out […]

  We were checking out today from the nice quiet Apu Lodge in Ollantaytambo. We took it easy, had a marvellous breakfast (eggs, fruit, cereals, bread…) and then the plan was to hire a taxi for both of us to take us to Cusco, but doing all the Sacred Valley in the way so we […]

At 5am the alarm went out. Time to start the ascent. My legs were heating from the previous day but we had a good night sleep with the only noise of the river. There was full moon so the headlamps were not 100% required. Many people had to go up with mules as it was […]
