The Inka Wall

03/22/2009

Our second to last night in Cusco we headed out to a touristy meal and folk dance exposition at The Inka Wall. This place was just down the street from our hostel and featured a huge buffet dinner and dancing exemplifying the cultures of Peru. All the eras were represented from the Incan styles to Spanish and European styles. Even the pseudo futuristic space bugs versus the ice princess made an appearance complete with Yeti monster.
The food was pretty good and very plentiful but the real treat was the dancing. Near the end the performers came off the stage and pulled crowd members up to take part in the dancing. This was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and one that every tourist should put on their list. Even though it was very cheesy in the touristic kind of way it was fun and one of the only ways you could really get to see all these dances.
