Trip to Peru- (15) arriving Cusco

 Here are some pictures taken on our journey from the airport to our Airbnb in Cusco. We encountered road constructions just outside the airport which caused some inconvenience. As we entered the town, the streets became more vibrant and colorful, making it evident that it is a popular tourist destination. The narrow streets were crowded with cars, but we eventually arrived at our Airbnb located in the mountains that surround the central downtown of Cusco. The panoramic view from our Airbnb was breathtaking, offering us a stunning view of the city and the houses nestled behind us.
