There are always second chances – so luckily the second try to discover Cusco for us. Back from our Machu Picchu trip, we had two more days until the entire trip was over. So, we wanted to make the best out of it. We woke up around 9 am and got ready to explore. Cusco is such a lovely little town, although a little too touristy, as most of the people get here sooner or later to go to Machu Picchu. It’s a charming city, with little streets, surrounded by mountains.
I know, I know – it’s been ages. But truth is, once work catches up with you, time is very limited. Better late than never, right? So, Peru – what can I say. I’ve heard so much good about this country and it really beat all of my expectations. Being able to walk part of the Inka trail, see Machu Picchu, experience Cusco and make it all the way up to Lima has been an amazing experience.
So, I finally found the time to sit down and write about the second part of my trip through Bolivia – so many impressions, memories and experiences that I find it hard to decide what to share without writing an entire novel about it or bore everyone to death. So here we go, part II…
Oh, Bolivia, you’ve been too good to us! Despite the fact that our entire trip through South America was special, I would have to say that Bolivia is the country that really stole my heart. I can’t even pinpoint what I liked the most, it was just the overall feel that the people, cities and the landscape reflected. And even though it was freezing cold at night (up to -10 degree) and we had to sleep without heating or electricity for the first couple of days – it was definitely worth it.
I just got back from my trip to South America and I still can’t believe it’s over. Once you start working, you try to use your time abroad even more efficiently and that is why we tried to take it all in, use time wisely and remember all the good times when having to go back to work (which is basically now – a dream).
