If you've been following this blog, then you know that Tommy and I decided to move to Cusco. We took these pics from the plane when we were not far from our destination.
Cusco is a city in Southeastern Peru with an altitude of around 3,400 m (11,200 ft). It can be hard on some people due to altitude sickness, but with the proper rest and precautions everything is fine.
Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO.
Some historians say that the name Cusco is derived from the Quechua phrase, qusqu wanka, meaning "rock of the owl". Isn't that awesome? More bird related stuff about our new hometown!
I got a new job and will start next week, and Tommy has a few projects that I believe will work out just fine.
We are meeting new people every day, and so far they have been great! They helped us so much these past few weeks. We are also finding information about nearby birding spots and saw a couple of new birds within the city, a hummingbird and what we believe is some kind of thrush (id pending)
It won't be easy, but it won't be boring either.
