A Thai massage in the middle of the Andes? A picture with two girls in pretty indigenous dress, with a llama in the background-- for a price, of course? A 10-day trekking tour with three carriers to lug all your vital makeup, books and various sweathshirts?
If you've ever desired any of the above proposals, hurry over to Cusco. Every ancient corner of the city seems devoted to supplying every possible tourist need. I've never seen so many Alpaca-wool sweaters, organized tours or "typical" restaurants in my life. Though the city is absurdly charming, I was a little shocked both by the number and the insistence of the vendors that swarm the streets.
Poor llamas posing in the city.
"Good price, amiga, good price."
