Cuzco, Peru

Cuzco takes my breath away...literally. The altitude is so high here at 11,000 feet that you get out of breathe just walking around. I have one more day to acclimitise before my sister and I head off for a 4 day trek along the Inca Trail. Final destination...Machu Pichu. Other than adjusting to the high altitude, I have really enjoyed my three days so far in Cuzco. Today I went paragliding over the Andes Mountains ...just amazing scenery and last night we randomly came across an amazing local band which features a flute, a mandolin and a wooden box. More from Machu Pichu after the trek.
