cuzco chaos: a digital nomad's diary

i touched down in the city that never sleeps, or at least that's what the locals say. i just checked and it's heating up, there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. the air feels like a warm hug from a *street vendor, and the humidity is low enough that you can actually feel the sand under your shoes. if you get bored, nearby villages are just a short drive away. someone told me that the night market is a must, but also that the tram can be a nightmare, so keep an ear out for the driver’s whistles. cuy is on every menu, and the plaza turns into a live concert after sunset. don’t miss the café on the corner; the barista swears the espresso is brewed with mountain spring water. i read a review on TripAdvisor that called the view “breathtaking” but warned about the early closing of the main square. another blog post on a local board mentioned a hidden waterfall that only appears after rain, so pack a raincoat just in case.

hope you catch the sunset from the viewpoint* before the crowds roll in. check out Yelp for up‑to‑date tips and peek at the community chatter on Local Board where someone said the best tacos are served at midnight.
