Cusco, Peru

More from our South America trip:
We spent a night in Cusco, Peru, an old Incan town that has become one of the top tourist destinations in Peru.
There are lots of old churches built in the 1500s 
These rocks were put here hundreds of years ago by the Incans. They had an uncanny ability to fit together these perfectly placed stones, but no one really knows how they did it (there are many theories.)
Touching a humungous Incan stone.
This woman was charging money to take her picture with her sheep. 
Being tourists.
Old church, with a Starbucks right next door, (which we visited a few times during our stay in Cusco).
Chasing birds in the plaza.
Family time.
And then there was this chocolate bar, called Sublime (made by Nestle).
Apparently it's only in Central/South America, but Michael grew up eating it as a very special treat when he lived in Peru/Bolivia. He was so excited to find these that we bought 2 whole boxes of them.
Strolling through the market.
Mostly, Hazel playing with rocks.

Love all the pictures! Audrey says, "She's really that big?!" when seeing the last picture of Hazel.

So fun that Michael found something he remembers from his childhood! Those things are few and far between sometimes and have sweet memories!

What would you recommend for traveling to Bolivia with a 4 year old and a 1 year old? Would you bring a stroller or just a carrier (Ergo)? Would you recommend anything else to bring that would be an essential? Thanks.
