    Excelente tour de la Ciudad de Cusco con Venturia y Ruben Excelente tour de la ciudad de Cusco con Venturia y Ruben, el tour guy. Ruben me fue a buscar al hotel, y caminamos toda la ciudad por unas 3 horas. Fuimos al mercado, a las iglesias principales, y las calles mas interesantes de Cusco. La pase super bien con Ruben, y hasta fuimos a almorzar en un lugar muy pintoresco y cerca de la plaza principal de Cusco. Ruben sabe mucho de la historia de la catedral de Cusco, 100% recomendado.
