Off The Deep End

We spent three days in Cusco before our trip to Machu Picchu. Not knowing what to expect we were wide open to the possibilities of the area. Our cab driver into town from the airport, Percy, recommended a hostel and even came inside with us to discuss possible adventures. We all agreed that the horse riding in the mountains sounded like a great idea for our second day and arranged to meet Percy at 2 PM. We spent our first afternoon exploring the area around our hostel, the Plaza and some of the small shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
