Our time in South America was reaching to an end, but we wanted to take some time to really relax and be "real" tourists. The place chosen for that was Cusco and Machu Picchu. However this post is only going to be about our relax time in Cusco. Machu Picchu will come in the next post.
Cusco is a very beautiful city, with lots of historical buildings from the colonial times and ruins from the Incas. Many of the colonial houses are used today as hostals, and some have very nice small courtyards, as the one we stayed in. One of the neighbourhoods stands out for its coziness, and that is San Blas, which lies at the foothills of the hill with the impressive Sacsayhuaman ruins from the Incas. The ruins are nice, but the entrance is extremely expensive (way too much!), 36,6€ (273kr.) per person, even for us as students with an international student card, just because we are over 25 years old.
Anyways, we had some very nice and relaxing days there. I think we needed that!
