Wow! What a change of scenery... We are now in Cuzco and we are getting ready for our 5-day trekk to Machu Picchu (it´s so exciting!). Our departure from the Hogar was pretty sad, as we were getting so attached to the staff and patients... But we are all pretty tired (departure time: 3:45 am)Our flight to Cuzco was great: the scenery was breathtaking: mountains piercing the clouds at sunrise... We got to Cuzco in good time and met up with 4 other friends: Corey, Chloe, Lauren and David, who will be joining us for the trekk.
Our hostel here is great and we have taken advantage of the last 3 days to visit many museums, markets, ruins, restaurants, cafes... We are really feeling the change of pace from our work at the Hogar... we are now definitely on holiday! However, the high altitude here in Cuzco is making it a little tough for some of us. Our hearts are racing as soon as we climb a few steps... This didn´t prevent some of us from going mountain biking or rafting though...More news to come and hopefully more pictures!
