Travel Post: Cuzco in Peru
4:39 PMThis blog is apart of my Peru travel post series. Read my previous posts about the Amazon rainforest, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu!
Day 5.5 - Cuzco
We took the Perurail train back to Cuzco from Aguas Calientes. This took over 4 hours.
We arrive at our Airbnb in Cuzco only to discover that there is NO HOT WATER.
The water was freezing cold! Keep in mind that this was after a long
day of traveling, hiking, and a 4 hour train ride back home soaking in
our sweat and filth. After several unsuccessful calls to our Airbnb host
to alleviate the problem, we decide to boil hot water with pots, and
bathe ourselves with bowls in the shower. I had never felt lower.
Nevertheless, we try to make the best out of an unfortunate situation. We attempted to get some rest to wake up early to explore Cuzco.
Day 6 - Exploring Cuzco
In
the morning, we had a few hours before our flight to Lima to explore
Cuzco. We walk around the town and take in all the sights. It really is a
beautiful, old town - even if hot water is not common.
