Del Prado Inn

While traveling in Cusco, my mother got really sick. Before traveling, she had a cough. After we were in Cusco (and she pushed herself to walk around Machu Picchu), her chest starting feeling worse. While in Cusco, we had to go to a private health care facility on a Sunday morning. We had some of the fastest and least expensive health care ever. She got diagnosed with pneumonia, a slight case of high altitude sickness, and giardia (probably from using tap water for teeth brushing). She had all her tests done quickly and safely. She got all her medicine cheaply. Within two days, we were able to travel back to Lima and on home to the States. It's strange to put this as a favorite thing about Cusco, but it comforted me to know that we were able to get excellent medical treatment when one's nightmare comes true.
