Day 6: Urcos and Tipon

We took one of the local long distance buses to Tipon on Saturday, however, we missed the stop and ended up all the way over in Ursco. It actually ended up being quite a good day and we managed to find a three course lunch for 3.50 soles each which works out around £1 and the food was really yummy and so far I haven't been sick from it!! We then took the bus back and actually got off at Tipon. We had been told that there were some Inca ruins here, but we never found them and instead found a random zoo on the top of a very big hill, then we headed back to Cusco on an extremely crowded bus.
