Sacred Heart Cafe, or “Pure heart” or something along those parameters? There’s one by that name which I dined in quite heavily not only because of its virtuous M.O but because it was goood!
We stayed in a hostel right next to it actually. If I were you, I’d avoid walking up the site that’s there unless you’re desperate for cardio. It’s a little pricey for not all that much.
While in Machhu Picchu, look for the Viscachas! They’re like some cute kangaroo mice that gesture like they’re praying

I thought Heather and her BF are little more resilient than Jarred food. Young adults need not to worry about elevations less than 15k.
Thanks for sharing HN and have fun; do visit Punku ruins and check out lake Titikaka.

Living at the 8k level here in the Sierras let me suggest you go slow when going from a high to a lower elevation. I know when friends come to visit and bring their home canned jars of food they have to stop every 1k and sit for half an hour or the jars seal can come loose.

Looks like a very nice place. Please keep us updated on your trip. I’d love to learn a bit more about Peru, especially since I know next to nothing about it. 😉

glad you liked it 🙂 too bad it wasn’t in time for your trip, but sometimes you learn the most from things that happen like that when you’re not expecting – hope it wasn’t too serious for you!

so cool! i loved getting a glimpse of the locals 😀 When we went to lake tahoe a few years ago our hotel was over 7k elevation, and we didnt know if it was allergies, cold or what, finally someone told us what is was, this would have been great to know! Def good tips if you are traveling! have fun!

cool 🙂 we haven’t gone up to Machu Picchu yet, next week 🙂 and yes, we plan to spend as little time in Aguas Calientes as possible… but I did find a really cool cafe serving veg food and working as a support for a local charity in Ollantaytambo, so going to check that out instead 🙂

Hi Heather, looks like a nice place to visit. Firstly, I love the cute intro in your videos 🙂 Secondly, can you tell us what brand of the UV water purifier and water bottle +filter you have? thanks!

Aw. Hope you won’t need those sickness pills. What an amazing world we live in. Are you going somewhere else next or staying there till you go home?

hey I went to that church! The catacumbos, No? Did you get to ascend Machu Picchu?
If you do go to Machu Picchu, don’t buy anything in Aguas Calientes, the town at the base of the mountain.
