Cusco and Machu Picchu

Today we went white water rafting on the Urubamba river (sacred Incan river) and it was awesommme. We also got an awesome lunch after and got to see some Ican ruins on the way back to Cusco. Cusco is an awesome city, extremely beautiful, but it has a lot of tourists which is a downside.
Tomorrow we head to Machu Picchu. I am very excited! We have a three day "trek" visiting the town of Aguas Calientes, Santa Maria, and Santa Theresa. After Machu Picchu we go to Copacabana, a city on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, and spend a day there. For de-orientation we are going to Isla Del Sol, the birth place of the Incas. Once that is over it is time to return to La Paz for one day and return home...already! It doesn´t seem like it has been three months at all and I have really enjoyed my time here in Boliva and Peru and already can´t wait to return!
