Cusco, Peru: A World Heritage city at an altitude of 3,400 meters.

Unlike Arequipa, Cusco has a slightly more chaotic and local vibe that feels comforting and relaxing. 😌 The city center features charming cobblestone streets, a grand cathedral, bustling markets, and an old town filled with steep slopes—just walking around is a joy! ✨ For altitude sickness, coca leaves 🌿 are the remedy! Although I felt a bit unwell at over 4,000 meters, I managed to recover with some coca candy. 😅 The city at night is absolutely stunning, and the breathtaking night view from the top of the climb left me mesmerized. 🌃 Who would have thought a 28-year-old single woman would be gazing at Peru's nightscape alone? Life truly is fascinating. 🥹💭
