DAY 8 – CUSCO

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Cusco is a lovely, and large city nestled high up in the Andes. We awoke today and walked (slowly because of the altitude) to the Plaza de Armas, where we encountered a lot of riot police waiting for something to happend, soon a large band of marchers appeared and circled the plaza and chanted slogans. One of the locals told me they were teachers protested get government cuts to education.

We moved on to the Cathedral of Cusco, and visitied several small museums. Wrapped up with a lovely dinner.

One thought on “DAY 8 – CUSCO

  1. It’s pretty cool that you got to see this protest in action. Education is valuable all around the world!
