On the way to Cusco (gateway to Machu Pichu) the road takes a turn for the better - from the sand dunes to the mountains! It's a steep climb from 200 meters to 4600 meters/13800 feet where it levels off at a plateau -best day of the trip so far!
The road is narrow but is very well maintained - be very careful sharing the road with trucks and buses!
As you get to the plateau you are surrounded by herds of Llama - elsewhere you see sheep here you see Llamas!
In Cusco now - crowded dirty city - but the center and historic part are reasonably well maintained - lets see what the hype of Machu Pichu is all about!
