After an 11h bus ride with a brief stop in Puno we arrived around 23:00 in Cusco. Luckely the taxi ride to the hostal was short and we checked in and dropped into bed dead tired!
The next day we spent in Cusco sightseeing the beautiful city and trying to organize a 3 day trek. We booked a moderate 3 day hike from Lares to Ollataytambo with guide, cook, horse, and tents. Cusco is pretty touristy and every few minutes you are interrupted by some street merchant trying to sell you something you for sure don't need! We visited the Mercado Central, Anja's favorite place to hang out, and also various artisan markets.
Today we took a bus up to the Inka ruins of Tambomachay (Inka cleansing baths) and hiked back along various other Inka sites including Pupkapukara (royal hunting lodge), Q´enqo (spiritual sacrifice site) and Saqsaywaman (fortress). 4 hours later we were back in Cusco and are now preparing for our trek. We'll be leaving at 5:30 2morrow morning and should be back in Cusco on Saturday at 19:00.
