I slept so well last night, for around 10 hours. I had a lovely relaxed breakfast and then headed out into town. There was another parade going on in the main square.

After watching the parade for a bit I walked up to San Cristabol to get a view of the city. There were quite a few people there enjoying the sunshine.

I decided my legs didn’t hurt that much and I continued walking up to Cristo Blanco. Unfortunately the first path I took also led to the Inca ruins, Sacsayhuaman which meant you had to pay £20 to get through. As I’d already seen these Inca ruins 4 years ago when I was in Cusco I consulted maps.me and found a different, but longer, route to the statue. The statue is at 3,600m so 300m above the city of Cusco.

The statue itself is pretty tall, 8m high, and impressive but the main attraction are the amazing views over the city.

I stayed on top of the hill for a while and then walked back to Cusco and had some lunch in the main square.

At 4pm I met up with Katy and we took the bus to Ollantaytambo. Tonight I’ll be doing the Ayahuasca ceremony there.
