We decided that one day in Lima was enough and hopped on a luxury bus through the Andes arriving in a small city called Huancayo. With dusty streets, numerous taverns and coal trains it was accurately described to us as a southwestern town in the Andes.
Unfortunately just after breakfast Spencer was feeling sick so we spent the morning lounging and planning the rest of our trip. It is almost impossible to find transportation using the route we are planning to machu picchu, but it may have come down to gut wrenching public transportation and 3am arrival times. (Most people just fly to Cuzco.)
We were however able to explore the town and fell in love with the traditionally dressed older women, the numerous shoe repair shops, the crowded sidewalks and the Churros, (yummy fried and sugared treats).
Adios!
