Saturday November 7th, 2015 - Cusco, Peru
Today we spent the day exploring and photographing in the city of Cusco. This is such a beautiful city steeped in history. We visited the oldest cathedral in South America and a monastery that was build over an Inka sun temple ruins. Later in the afternoon we had some free time to explore the streets for interesting photographs.
This evening we had dinner in the main square and said good-bye to Fidel our Peru guide. And I might at it was a great pleasure to work with him again. See you next year Fidel. We then finished the evening with a night shoot in the square. It has been another great day. Enjoy the photos.
A fun shot as we headed to the old cathedral, love the shadows and the capped cruisader
