Strolling around Cusco

Except that "strolling" is probably the wrong word. Boasting vertiginous streets that curve into the mountains at nearly 4000 metres of altitude, Cusco is more a town where tourists pant and heave. The city is unbelievably enticing-- hidden courtyards, colonial balconies and intensely green hills framing the whole.
