A recent early morning in Cusco, Peru, before starting a multi-day trek through the mountains.

Two cathedrals stand right next to each other….

The city is nestled in a beautiful valley high in the Andes - but sadly much of it doesn't do the setting justice!

Local people from all over the country gathered in Cusco city square to parade in their traditional costumes - very colourful!

Cusco Puno Railway 20221124

 

The Perurail Titicaca Train is an unforgettable train ride, covering the incredible journey from Cusco to Puno in Peru through the Peruvian Andes.

The journey is very spectacular, whizzing through the Abra La Raya mountain pass, at an altitude of 4,352 meters, and the commercial centre of Juliaca, where the train passes right through the central market. Finally, the train skirts the majestic Lake Titicaca before arriving at the station in Puno. The train covers 385 Kilometers and takes a total of 10 hours and 30 minutes.

The need to travel again is increasing. Hope it will be possible again soon. Until then I keep browsing through my archive and remembering the beautiful moments.

The San Pedro Market in Cusco is situated about an eight minute walk south from Plaza de Armas, but it's a world away in its difference. The market is filled with life, colour, noise and smells. Everything from raw meats and spices to frying chicken and lomo saltado (stir fried beef) will greet you. All kinds of fresh fruits, and fruit juices are on sale. No matter what you want, you'll find it in the San Pedro Market in Cusco.

  

And the ladies dress up too….

 

We happened to have a heavy storm roll through Cusco which apparently is pretty rare in that area
