It’s our second day in Cuzco
and the altitude sickness already started to shoot some of us down like flies.
A lot of us were succumbing to the low levels of oxygen and decreased pressure
from above while others were doing well. And then there were others who were
clearly suffering from the sickness but chose to put on a sort of façade to
mask their vulnerability, but come on guys who really cares.
We spend the day doing a small
tour around the city of Cuzco, starting with a visit to El Templo del Sol, and
Basilica de la Catedral del Cuzco in the main plaza of the city. After making
our way out of the cathedrals, we began our journey to the incredible ruins of Sacsayhuaman,
from which we were able to roam free and explore old sacred grounds and
appreciate the mountainous view from above. It was a beautiful introduction to
the culture of the Cuzco.
