went to football in cusco, to see cusco play sporting crystal from lima, top o fthe table clash.took ataxi from san blas cost was 3 soles, taxis drop you off 100 yards from the ground, its like going back in time as you walk up cobbled street with houses,you need to purchase your ticket from a literal hole in the wall, 4 price bands, 8,12,15 and 25 soles,

we went for the 25 soles tickets,balacha section, the whole stadium is uncovered, the balacha section is on the half way line and is the only padded seating in the ground, other ares are concrete steps,

behind the goal is pure mayhem with fans constantly jumping up and down, setting of fire crackers,flares and smoke bombs, it is also quite acceptable to throw oranges when the away team and referee leave the pitch at half time, to counter act this they have apolice gaurd covering them with shields, also sets of drummers and marching bands play for the full 90 minutes,

vendors sell pepsi cola for 1 sole, ice creams for 2 to 4 soles, hats for 5 soles and replica kits for 30 soles, cuzco play in red adorned with an image of machupichu

if your hungry and desperate for an upset tummy you might want to try guinea pig on a stick for 5 soles,alpacca kebab for 7 soles or might not

for the record cuzco won 2 ,1 in an entertaining game,good attacking play ,lacking in defensive skills, in fact a don howe nightmare with plenty of diving and excellent gesturing from players and the crowd to comprehend

all in all a fine afternoon and not been a tourist
