By: Harry M“Cusco is a Wonder“
“Cusco is a cordial city, people are very friendly, though not all. It also shines with its own light, it is the most important tourist city in South America, it is beautiful, and it works very well with the people who visit it, it is easy to reach all tourist places and most of them are amazing, but for Machu Picchu must book tickets in advance.“
