Cusco – Day 12 Public Transportation
I am a big fan of public transportation so instead of taking a 75 cent taxi ride, I decided to brave the bus. This morning I took a microbus to school. It is a crazy system but it works. There are small minivans which kind of come to a stop but mostly just roll along with a guy shouting out the window the stop names. There may be 5 busses at a time with everyone screaming in rapid succession. You hop in the minivan which is standable if you are under 5 feet and wait for your stop, paying the guy at what appears random times. It is only about 10 cents so an economical way to travel. Hostel dormitaries here run about 5$ a night and a good meal will set you back another $5.
No wonder there are a lot of people trying to find themselves here with these prices! THe timing is perfect, weather decent and not many tourists I can not even imagine it in high season.
