RE: Travel Pro Tip #39: Cusco Peru, Be Prepared to Pay for Photographs (4 minute video)
Yes you would expect it from Cusco now and that's a shame, but they need to make a living somehow. Still it's very cheeky. Like we said in the last video, that square where you started off is the place where Sam stayed. His hotel was located there, but can't seem to remember the name.
Where everver there are tourist there will be locals trying to make a living off them.....no, I don't blame them. It just is what it is! So cool that I'm giving Sam a bit of a flash back with these videos. If come off annoyed in the video, it's simply because overly touristy places I find annoying......sometimes! lol
You did say you prefer roaming off the beaten track and avoid touristy places as much as you can. The frustration also comes as a traveler travelling for a eleven years and seeing the impacts of tourism - both positively, but probably more negatively (or at least, this is what we remember more of).
