- Sacsaywayman, Cusco, Peru
(With a name called Sacsaywayman, this area in the town of Cusco is sure to be remembered. At an altitude of over 3700m - which is over 12,000ft, not that much lower than Mt Kinabalu - one gets hit with altitude sickness easily, which is why the first thing they serve you at the hotel is a cup of warm water with coca leaves. Breathing gets difficult with less oxygen in the air. Cusco is a really lovely town caught in a time-web, with narrow streets of cobbled stones, dating over 500 years ago, including Qorikancha temple. Roads are wide enough only for 1 car to pass, with many being 2-way streets..kinda crazy taxi drivers too)
