Peru - Cuzco

Originally i actually thought that this was the Capital of Peru...I was wrong its Lima!!
However it is the Continent´s oldest continuously in inhabited city Also is the Inca Empire´s foremost strong hold.... With that in mind it is known as the Undisputed archaeological capital of the Americas...So i guess i wasn't too far off....
Of course i loved this place! so much history, people were awesome even if you got asked whether you want to buy a painting or hat every other second! The place is beautiful.....


 Combination of real Inca Buildings Still standing after 2000years & the Spanish Conquistadors who used the Inca structures for there own foundations......Amazing to see...

 Then there´s the intricate Graffiti Murals

 We arrived on a Special Day everyone was carrying dolls around and attending church something to do with
new life and beginnings..........


 No Cement/Mortar between these bad boys.... Only the most important buildings were build to this degree of accuracy.... Cant even wedge a Razor Blade between the bricks......

 Wonderfully Narrow Cobbled Stoned Streets....

 The Black Arches..........

 Hysterical.......... The store didn't even sell sportswear!

 The Square...

These Little Micro Machine Taxis were every where! cladded in Neon Lights, and Sport brand stickers...

 The 1st thing we did in Cuzco was get roped into buying these 2 paintings....
