Travel Pro Tip #38: Affordable Massages in Cusco Peru! (3 minute video)

in #travel6 years ago

Hey there my Steemit friends. In this video I talk about how in the touristy area of Cusco Peru around the Parque de Armas area you can get a massage for 20 soles. About six dollars for an hour massage. The only problem is pick a warm afternoon to get the message as it's no fun getting a message in a cold room. I was going to get one, but then I never did as the weather changed and I felt the need to stay bundled up.

This blog would not be possible without the support of.....

You walked up to the square where Sam was staying. He was trying to identify the streets and then it became familiar. Can't remember the name of the hotel, but recognise the outside.

There weren't any massages on offer when he was there. As you found out, it's only three years old, but great business idea to introduce it as those who have been on a 3-5 day Inca trek, their feet and legs would be burning after such a trek!

That is so cool. Unfortunately, in most developing countries when one person starts a business and has some success everyone under the sun jumps on board and drowns out the market through competition making is lousy overly competitive for everyone. I got approached by over 30 women in that area doing massages in less than an hour walking around. I counted! Was just nuts.

Yes that is the nature of the beast. Money drives opportunists and gready hearts! With passing traffic and the desire of conquering the Inca trail, there would be many massage places there. It does seem excessive, but that's the result of tourism.

Hiya, just swinging by to let you know that this post made the Honorable mentions list in today's Travel Digest #202

Sounds like a really good deal @world-travel-pro. Sorry you missed out! 😢

Thanks Gillian! But it's all good.

:) Was it not $6 because it was cold? Have great fun - I have been there and I found it very cold.

I think it was 6 dollars because it was Peru!
