Travel day to Quito, Ecuador
We spent most of this day wrapping things up and getting ready to head to the airport for phase 2 of our vacation. Our last morning in Cusco was mostly uneventful, but one thing worth mentioning is that we had lunch at a restaurant named Patcha Papa (father earth in Catchuan language), and ordered the local specialty from their wood hired clay oven, ‘Cuy’, or as we would call it, gineua pig.
Our flight went smoothly, with the only catch being that a ticket agent that looked just like Peruvian Fred Armisted told us that we had to make it through security and customs in only 20 minutes to catch our flight. After about 20 minutes of frantically throwing our stuff through the security belt and sprinting through the airport we arrived at our gate, only to find that we were actually an hour and a half early.
It was 12:30am when we finally landed in Quito, where we successfully met up with Mark and caught out ride to our new hotel, Hostel Quito Cultural, and made it to our rooms by 2am.
