The Cusco Trail

The lush green mountains, the sparkling blue waters,

  Cascading down Andean Peaks n Urubamba valley totters

Standing tall the remains of Incan Empire

  Leaves one spellbound in awe n much to inspire

Ayar Oche raises high in flight towards heaven,

  Listen to the murmur of Cusco tales make feet leaden

As you climb higher on Machu Picchu trail

 Stand, look, admire the edifices n structures frail

The delicacy of stonework on Killke raised complex

    Will raise a heartbeat, leaving jaws open n perplex?

Cusco is still a jewel adorning Peru’s crown

   Rising amidst jungles, rivulets and many a Llama towns
