Cusco at last.

After what we'd been through over the last 903km any less of a welcome would have been a disappointment.

Since Huancayo we've ridden on 178km of tarmac, 725km of dirt roads. Climbed 5 passes of 4000m or more. The Peruvian highlands proved to be much harder than we'd imagined. The bikes and equipment performed without fault, not even a puncture.





We can now relax and enjoy all the tourist trappings of the old Inca capital Cuzco.

An early arrival in the Plaza De Armas.


In the background, Cuzco Catherdral home of the famous Guinnea Pig Last Supper painting.







The Plaza De Armas and the mid afternoon swarms.
