Cuzco – a stop on our way

We arrived to Cuzco after a long and difficult journey, looking forward to unpacking our rucksacks and forget for some weeks of journeys and buses. During our first day in Cuzco we managed to find a place to stay for a month, with the right to use the kitchen, to feel at home, a Spanish school, a French person willing to converse, a gym, a karate club and a centre of children that needed some help. So we dived almost immediately into a new routine of early starts, classes, studies, search for the best place to enjoy a set menu, sport, explorations and other activities. Cuzco is really a great city to linger a while. With its mixture of Inca, Spanish and Cuzqueno styles, and the beauty of the valley where it is based, it is not coincidence that Cuzco, or Qosq’o in Quechua, was known as the navel of the world.
