0:00.0 | It's the cold night of June 16th. |
0:05.0 | That's because it's five days before South America's winter solstice. |
0:09.0 | Tonight, we're walking the streets of Kusko, Peru, the old capital of the Inca Empire. |
0:15.0 | The city is 11,000 feet above sea level, so it's no wonder that it's barely above freezing. Of course, |
0:23.3 | it's the perfect weather for a ghost tour. Our meeting spot is the Plaza de Armas, the main |

1:31.0 | You look too closely and you'll never be able to see the city the same way again. |
1:38.0 | As many of you know, I've spent a lot of time in Kusko, Peru, and for today's episode we |
