Now firmly in Peru we had about a week before our Inca Treck on the 8th April so caught yet another bus to Arequipa, Peru`s second largest city, partly to kill time. It turned out that the city was full of spanish colonial arcitechture, white walls and a very nice central square. After a day of walking the streets we arranged to go rafting the day after at 15 pounds for 3 hours, bargain. The scenery for the rafting had volcano Misti in the background as we were taken down grade 2, 3 and 4 rapids.
We got to Cusco 5 days early which was not a problem as the city is very scenic and was nice to walk around. It was extremely touristy but like many South American cities had a great central square with cathedrals and other impresive buildings surounding. We spent the 5 days before the treck taking things easy, only thing of note was meeting up with Liñe a Danish girl we had previously met in Santa Cruz and Sucre for a few drinks. That and watching the football in Nicks Sports Bar which had Samuel Smith beers amazingly.
