Back in Cusco

We arrived back in Cusco after four days in the Jungle - Manu National Park.


The trip to Manu was incredible.  10 hour car ride to cover 175km, then a 25 minute boat trip down a river that changes names multiple times.  Our main camp, Erica Lodge, was on the Alto Madre de Dios River

Wednesday in Cusco started with breakfast at our hotel - The Kenamari. Then a walk to Plaza de Armas to see the Cathedral.
No pictures permitted inside, but we did get a shot from the smaller cathedral looking out into the square.

Plaza de Armos, Cusco - Can you find CJ?

Plaza de Armas and environs

The Cathedral in Cusco (in Plaza de Armas)

Inside is a reproduction of The Last Supper but in this unique version, Christ and the disciples are sharing a guinea pig and the figure of Judas strangely resembles Pizarro (the Spanish explorer who exploited and was cruel to the Incas). 

Corpus Christi mass outdoors at 10am Thursday.
