Cusco
The view of Cusco while flying back to Lima.
The trip itself went quite while (aside from my cold), but the return leg was a never-ending sequence of issues. Mountain Lodges of Peru (Kuychi Rumi Lodge) lost the bags we left while we were hiking. (And they still haven't been found a week later). Our flight from Cusco to Lima was delay about 90 minutes and on arrival in Lima we discovered they left nearly all the bags back in Cusco. So our luggage was lost twice in two days. Thankfully, almost five hours later we managed to get those bags. Unfortunately, the flight out of Lima was delayed as well and didn't leave until 5 am. To add insult to injury, the Starback at Lima airport was out-of-commission (able to serve neither hot nor cold drinks). In short, it was not the best 48 hours.
