Today we took a local bus from Puno to Cusco- taking the best part of 6 hours!!!! The seats where not the most comfortable and at a few points none of us thought we would make it as the driver seemed to be having problems getting the bus in gear!!! The scenery was great though - lots of mountains and snow around. We arrived to our hotel which was a bit basic. But then we headed into the main square of Cusco which is like stepping back in time hundreds of years...

We landed in Juliaca and then took our bus to Puno - which is at 3800m above sea level this is where we needed to acclimatize. We...
