    Cuy in Cuzco by: livefasttravel Views[247] 'Dog Day Afternoon' Chapter 4. I walked up one of Cusco's most sloped streets to see the city from a high spot. Wait, not that high. I deliberately crouched to reach the eye level of this pintoresque dog, as if I were just another pooch, his pal, standing right there at the heart of the Imperial City of the Incas. by: luigimeetsworld Views[512] 'Andean eyes passing by'. Chapter 1. I arrived to Cusco on New Year's Eve. This big day unfolds in front of my eyes. I know there's a big celebration coming at night. But I have the whole day to explore yet! Under the jagged silhouette of this cloud-high city - capital of the Inca Empire - there's a rythmic up and down of vehicles, merchants, and tiny dogs that goes on all day. On the early morning, the only girl on this crowded bus is dressed all in red. She has such a mysterious look and she stares at me, one eye covered by the frame of the window - while a busy bus goes wobbling around down Cusco's mazy streets. by: luigimeetsworld Views[460] Natural high. While I can hardly keep my breath at such heights, this woman walks up the dizzy streets of Cusco, carrying her belongings with ease. by: luigiluigi Views[481] The only girl on this crowded bus is dressed all in red. She has a mysterious look and she stares at me - with the subtle detail of one eye covered by the frame of the window - Meanwhile, this busy bus goes wobbling around down Cusco's mazy streets, and we are never gonna se each other again. by: luigiluigi Views[746]
     
    This dog's size must be compromised with the high atmospherical pressure of the Andean region. Nevertheless, he stretchs happily with Cusco at his feet. I put my self at the eye level of this dog to convey why would it look to be on his paws, staring at the imperial city of Cusco! by: luigiluigi Views[601]
