Lima -> Cusco -> Pisac

Woke up at the crack of dawn today to catch an early flight to Cusco. This is just the first of many very early mornings for this trip. I was pleased to find out that the Pardo's Chicken chain was conveniently located at the center of the airport. This place was another recommendation from a friend. The chicken sandwiches here are so good, especially the sauce they serve it with.

While we waited at the airport, we also made sure to grab coca goods - Peruvians swear by these to help with acclimation.

After a one hour flight on Star Peru, we touched down in Cusco. Our driver was waiting for us once we arrived to drive us to the town of Pisac about an hour away. We'll stay here for one night - the first of our 3 day acclimation period. Before going on any of the treks to Machu Picchu, they recommend you acclimate for at least 2-3 days due to the high elevation. This place was small, quaint and conveniently located right next to the market.
