If you are looking for luxury and major comfort, head to Palacio del Inka. Not only has this hotel mastered its amenities (like their Andes Spirit Spa and the Rumi Bar) but it is also considered a historical landmark, as it is a five-century-old mansion in the heart of the city. Immerse yourself in the halls and archways, the colonial art, Andean designs, details and antiques that will put you in the mood to discover more about Peruvian culture.  

Cercanía Pan y Café is an impeccable choice for an early run to the panadería. They are ready to satisfy your cravings, whether it is a sweet pastry with raspberries or a savoury sourdough sando. Visit this cute nook for a good breakfast, a mid-day latte or an early evening treat. Just because we are opinionated and love to give a suggestion, we encourage everyone to try their chocolate cake. 

If you are in for a frolic afternoon or evening, you must make a stop at Museo del Pisco. Not only for educational reasons. Pisco Sour is Peru’s national cocktail and therefore, every visitor must try it. Visit with friends and try as many Piscos Sours and their heavenly house cocktails as possible. Our favourite? Besides from Pisco Sour, Passionfruit Sour. 

Be aware: The next day's headache will be as strong as your desire to get a second round once you’ve chugged down your first. 

Oculto may be the most hip place in Cusco. This intimate hidden gem is not only iconic for its natural wine bar but also for its creativity and fusion of international and Peruvian cuisine. Visit this minimalistic place for a refined night in the city, perfect to immerse in their unique cocktails list and for dessert, their heavenly chocolate mousse.
