The Peru Trip

The view over Cusco.

Sacsayhuaman is a steep 2Km walk directly up the hill from Cusco. Being the first exertion we'd had at altitude, we were struggling for breath by the top and concerned that the Inca trail was next day. Small consolation that our guide, who "walks the Inca trail every month", was also out of breath after just a few yards, and she was already up there (of course, she might have been ill).
