Arequipa to Cusco

3rd December Arequipa
We went to see Juanita who is an ice mummy. This young girl was sacraficed on the top of nearby Mount Ampato (which is over 6000 meters high) by the incas . She was found when the volcano next door started errupting and melted the ice on Mount Ampato.

4th December Cusco
Got night bus to Cusco. It took the long road so 12 hours with no toilet, toilet breaks or leg room. The road was quite bumpy so no sleep.
Arrived in Cusco and got a bus to Pisac which was having its famous market today.
After seeing the market we got a taxi up to the inca ruins which overlooks the village. We wandered arround the ruins and walked back to Pisac, it was raining so we got a bit wet.

5th to 7th December
Took some time to relax in Cusco, plenty to do here hanging arround for a few days.
If you sit out in the main square you get approached by peruvian tourists who want to take your photo and want you to sing a song. Great fun, beat the endless procession of people selling postcard, cigarets and finger pupets.
