Cusco sights

Hi all
Arrived in Cusco Tuesday afternoon and yesterday took a tourist bus around to get our bearings. Booked the Machu Picchu trip for next Monday.
Cusco is the cultural centre of Peru and of the former Inca empire.
The photo is from near the site of Sacsayhuaman and shows the Llama tethered  and grazing on grass with the megalithic structure in the background. Also seen is the new Cusco city.  Very progressive place and very tourist orientated.
Not five minutes goes by when there is someone selling stuff. In Puno we purchased 2 genuine....authentic...signed paintings for our feeble art collection. The following day another artist tried to sell us the same paintings with  his signature. We decided to laugh it of as we were clearly scammed. Lovely alpaca garments for a song. I wish we had a container to take home.
Have a great day

Sam
