5.00Cusco is a charming city with its narrow cobblestone streets, with its artisans on the streets, with the majesty of colonial architecture, with the Cusco people always ready to help you. I loved it !!!! beyond that the height of more than 3000 mts affected me quite a lot because I am from a flat country with a maximum height in its range of 500 mts high. It's not a city for anyone in old age, but it's worth the effort. Thanks Cusco!!!!
