2026-05-12: After the crazy ride to Abancay, we went for the bus on the return. The bus was cheaper than the collectivo, and the seats were business class level comfort. After arriving back in Cusco, we had one last afternoon adventure before continuing to Lima. We used another notch on our tourist ticket to visit still more ruins.
