Besides Machu Picchu, I also got to tour the Sacred Valley near Cusco and had a free day to explore Cusco itself. We went to see some streets where foundations of buildings were actually Inca building. We also visited Museum of Pre-Colombia, which had some interesting artifacts. By the way, did you know that Peru is in dispute with Yale University over artifacts that were taken out of Machu Picchu? It appears that Peruvian government is set to sue Yale to recover appoximately 45,000 relics taken out of Machu Picchu to Yale according to
this article.
Walk down a street in Cusco where you can see Inca foundation for buildings.
At the Pre-Columbian Museum, I really wanted to take these staffs. Too cool!
Or how about these necklaces out of seashells?
We checked out Los Perros, which is apparently a hang-out for a lot of tourists according to the Frommers Guidebook.
Inside Los Perros. The couches were awesome.
