A local man just having a bad day in the Plaza de Armas, Cusco, Peru. Either that or he is simply very very tired, I’m not sure which, but I snapped the picture anyways.

Plaza de Armas
Peru Day One: Cusco City
Cusco city, known as the “historical capital of Peru” is located in the South East of Peru at close to an elevation of 11,000 ft in the Urumbamba Valley of the Andes mountains. At this elevation, Cusco has 30% less oxygen in the air than where I currently live in Connecticut, USA at ~500 ft elevation. Being a short walk away from many major Inca ruins, and the place where all Inca trail hikers and Machu Picchu visitors start their trip to Peru, Cusco is a very popular tourist destination.
