Hi everyone! I am back today with a blog post about our time here in Peru! So after we left the hotel where we stayed at, we flew all the way to Cuzco, Peru, where we got a nice hotel that looked like it was from a storybook. It was big, elegant, and the rooms were all very nice! It was a great place and even though we didn’t do much the first day, the second day was very interesting and fun. We got up and after going to a train station, we listened to a talented person playing iconic songs on pan pipes, which was very interesting because the instrument is so weird yet awesome. Once we got on the train, it was a first-class treatment for us! We got to sit in a fancy cabin with a nice interior and we got served fancy food while we rode for 2 hours to go to Machu Picchu!
Once we got there, we met with our guide for the day and we explored the great and abandoned city of Machu Picchu while it slowly drizzled. We saw an elegant view of the old buildings and we even saw the legendary Sun Temple there, which was a holy place where the Incas did their prayers. Out of nowhere, it started to pour on us and then we were soaked head to toe. After Machu Picchu, we went back home on the same elegant train for the last time and it was an absolutely fabulous experience.
The next day, we explored the city of Cuzco where we first went to a grim-looking church with fancy decorations. Literally, all the paintings and ornaments that we saw there looked very depressing and it made me kind of confused in the sense that some people would come to a grim place like that to pray(no offense). After that, we saw a picture of the Peruvian version of the last supper and Jesus was eating a Guinea Pig! We then went to have lunch and we saw two Mormons walking around in uniform and everything! It was kind of hilarious because we see them everywhere and they always try to luck so clean. We then went to an open fruit market where we saw lots of unique foods and a decapitated pig. Yeah… very appealing. We went back home after that and our interesting experience in Cuzco officially ended.
