Final days in Peru...


Peru rail staff double up as models 
Unfortunately, things didn't quite go to plan.
A one day nationwide transport strike meant we were stuck in Aguas Calientes that night and didn't reach Cusco until the following afternoon after the most bizzare train journey (complete with catwalk fashion show of alpaca jumpers and shawls).









Cusco's beautiful central plaza



A few final drinks with our trek group in Paddy's Irish bar that night and it was time for us all to part ways and for Josh to fly home the next day.

The ruins of Sacsaywaman overlooking Cusco
I spent the next five days in Cusco exploring the city, visiting local ruins and markets and recovering from the trek. I was also gearing myself up as my next stop was to leave Peru for Chile. Finally I booked my last overnight bus in Peru and headed towards the border.

  1. There's always a strike in Peru - they love it! We went to Paddy's too - felt very strange! Sacsaywaman looks very cool.
