Chapter 12 - New Year

Chapter 12 - New Year


New year was a really good time! We started the last night of the year by sharing a nice meal at Go Bananas with all the visitors of the hostel, followed by some funny drinking games. We then went altogether to the Plaza de Armas, the main square of Cusco, were the whole local population gathered in front of a huge stage. We were totally amazed by the first group which played kind of a traditional punky Peruvian music (in which one of our friend was playing), followed by another traditional mainstream group.

At midnight, along with big fireworks, the tradition had everyone running around the plaza... A real mess, as you can believe! But also so much fun, talking to everyone ending up next to you!

After that we went back to Ayaymama, the bar next to Go Bananas, where a sound system from Holland (actually the same guys playing at IncaTek!) was revolving the whole street with hard techno! The street being so narrow and the bar being so full, some people even had the genius idea to block the whole street with a pile of cardboard and other garbage!!
Amongst other really nice people, we met again with loads of folks from IncaTek, making us feel totally like home...

I'll pass the details because as you can imagine it got a bit blurred later in the night hehe
