At altitude

We have flown into Cusco, the capital of the old Inca empire. I think our guide says we are at 4,400 metres above sea level. From there we have been taken into the Sacred Valley of the Incas and are spending two nights at Urubamba.

Unsurprisingly internet access is slow and I'm not certain what I can download and despatch but I'll try to send some images here.

We tour the Valley tomorrow then to Machu Picchu the following day. Will post when possible.
