Where in Cusco is our Apartment

20 November 2019

Betsy just asked where, in Cusco, is our apartment located. If you search “Google Maps” for Urbanización Covipol in Cusco, “the Google” will get you to less than 100 meters from our flat. The little blue spotlight on the right in the map below is our flat.

The majority of the interesting old stuff, and where the tourists mostly hang out, is off on the left side of the map in el Centro Histórico. Most of the nice hotels and good restaurants are over there too. We chose this side of town because it’s less than a 10 minute walk from our language school. To get to el Centro, we have walked and taken the local buses. The buses always seem to be jam packed and I doubt they ever see much of a cleaning. However, they run every 5 minutes or so and they are cheap – .8 S/, or About 25 cents.

I wish our bus service was even partially as good. Just about everywhere in the world that I’ve travelled does a much better job at mass transit than we do in the States!
