Life is a trip
So far the theme to this one seems to be "delay' 😅🫣 but in addition to being a trip, life is also good so no complaints.
Our flight from Lima to Cusco was delayed - and we didn't find out until it was time to board 🙃
Thankfully, the Jorge Chavez International Airport was pretty comfortable and also had this beautiful graffiti artwork to enjoy as we waited.
I had grabbed a few things from one of the shops once we had cleared security (which was much easier than some other countries).
Time passed pretty quickly and we were back en route in no time.
Pro-tip: If you're ever travelling on LATAM Airlines and have the option to upgrade, I'd say go for it. We scored seats in row 2 and with the upgrade they automatically block out the middle seat.
Anyway, the views on the short one hour hop were beautiful 😍 so many mountains that were literally right there.
We arrived safely in Cusco in no time at all and thankfully had no immediate issues with the altitude 🙌🏽🙏🏾
I felt like a real VIP with our prehired driver waiting for us with my name on a sign 😅.
The ride to the hotel was enjoyable- we communicated with our driver, Bruce, through Google Translate on his phone lol.
Later in the evening, we ventured down to Plaza de Armas which is the city centre. We picked up SIM cards and then decided to come back to the hotel for dinner.
You can see it's a pretty steep walk down so we caught an Uber back up to the hotel.
Alpaca was on the menu- literally lol
Ny and I both decided on mocktails as alcohol isn't recommended until after you've acclimatised.
I enjoyed my cucumber ginger refreshing drink and the alpaca wasn't bad either! Somewhere between beef and lamb I'd say 🤔
Pretty good for a first night in Cusco!
