Traveling Into The Andes of Peru From Lima

I left Lima today on my way into Cusco with the intention to hike Machu Picchu. The bus ride was a grueling 21 hours through the Andes on a one lane road most of the way.  There were some sketchy moments when I felt the bus was literally going to tip over the side of the mountain and we would all roll to our deaths. From what I hear, this actually happens on occasion.

Fortunately, I didn’t experience the cartwheel journey down the cliffs and I indeed arrived safely into Cusco. After a few stops along the way we had finally arrived in Cusco. I was starving and tired, my hands and clothes covered in sticky juice from the Mango I tried to eat at 2am without a knife or a plate and probably smelling like anything but mangos. I just wanted to get some food and go to sleep. Check out the video above to see more.
