I
finally decided to visit South America for the first time in October
2002. Finally a lifelong dream of watching water spinning down a
drain, counter-clockwise, was realized. So began my trip to Peru,
starting off briefly in the sprawling metropolis of Lima.
But Lima was not the goal here, the Inca
Trail and its wonders were the magnet.
Cusco
- a city of incredible history. Once the centre of the vast Inca
empire. Now a thriving tourist centre and the logical launching
point for all trips to one of the greatest archaelogical sites on
the planet - MACHU PICCHU
