Cusco, Peru

We arrived safely in Cusco, Peru at 11:30PM on March 27, after another bizare bus trip. We had arranged transportation through our hotel in Copacabana (La Cupula). From Copacabana to Cusco it takes approximately 12 hours by bus and our ticket was US$15 in total. We switched buses three times (all different companies). From Copacabana to Puno it took 2 hours by bus; this portion costed US$11. The remaining portion to Cusco took 10 hours and costed US$4. Makes sense eh? To make a long story short, our hotel ripped us off! Advice: don't let travel agents or bus companies book long legs of travel for you that involve switching buslines, they will almost always over-charge. Upon arriving in Cusco, we stayed at the following hostal for one night:
