While my main focus of my trip to Peru was to hike across the Andes, to Choquequirao and then to Machu Picchu, I also spent a couple of days in Cusco at each end of the trip.
From my hotel, it was a short walk to Plaza de Armas and the historic town center.
I also made several trips to the local market for fruits and baked goods.
I enjoyed just wandering around the city and observing traditional outfits that some people were wearing
I visited the Inca museum
and a children's art museum
I also went to Choco Museum, where I learned to make chocolate.
I roasted the beans.
Then ground the beans.
I used them to make hot chocolate and chocolate candies.
I also visited the Visiting Sacsayhauman Fortress
I was too chicken to slide down the rock slides, since I didn't want to get injured before my trek.
and from there, took the short walk to Mirador desde el Cristo Blanco
When the trek was over, I returned to Cusco and had a nice massage and saw a parade in the plaza.
And then it was time to head back home.
