I FINALLY MADE IT TO CUSCO 🇵🇪⛰️
Episode #19 of my South America journey brings me to one of the places I had been looking forward to the most: Cusco, Peru.
After arriving in the city, I check into my new hostel and spend my first two days simply exploring, walking around and taking in the atmosphere of this incredible place.
From the famous Plaza de Armas to small local streets filled with shops selling alpaca clothing, souvenirs and traditional Peruvian products, Cusco immediately feels different from anywhere else I’ve visited in Peru so far.
And the atmosphere is something else.
People are dancing in the streets, kids are playing everywhere and there’s constantly something happening around the city. 🇵🇪🎶
Of course, Cusco also introduces me to another side of travelling here…
The street sellers. A LOT of street sellers. 😭
Between exploring the city, trying local food and getting used to life at altitude, I unexpectedly run into someone I already know.
Jesko!
We originally met all the way back in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and somehow our paths cross again in Cusco. 🌎😂
Together we explore more of the city before heading outside Cusco for one of the coolest experiences of the trip so far:
HORSEBACK RIDING through the Peruvian landscape. 🐎⛰️
Beautiful views, open landscapes and a completely different way to experience the area around Cusco.
But this video is also the start of something much bigger.
At the end of Day 2, I head to KB Adventures for the official briefing for my next challenge:
THE 5-DAY SALKANTAY TREK. 🥾🏔️
Five days of hiking through the Andes, high-altitude mountain passes, incredible landscapes and one of the biggest adventures of my entire Peru trip.
In this episode, I’m only getting prepared.
The actual trek starts in the next video.
And trust me…
You don’t want to miss this one. 👀
