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. 

We’ve got your back. We know how important it is to have an Irish pub pinned on our map wherever we go. In Cusco, Paddy’s is more than a staple, it is a beloved icon of the city. This small, cosy but incredibly popular Irish pub is always ready for “una chelita” (slang for beer- but Peruvians love diminutives so the translation would be something like a baby beer, a small beer). Visit if you need to quench your thirst with a Cusqueña… or if you miss home, a Heineken, an Estrella Galicia or a Stella Artois (depends on where is home).

Once you’ve lived in this place, you can brag and say you’ve visited The Highest 100% Irish Pub on the Planet (11156 ft.)

Cusco’s nights are chilly and that is why we think a warm comforting dinner (with artisanal beer on the side) is the way to go. La Bodega 138 has a homey feel and even better wood-fired pizzas. Visit this popular spot to start your night out on the town. Commence from slice to slice and end up hopping from bar to bar. 

Cusco is home to many Baroque churches, but nothing beats The Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús. Located in the vibrant Plaza de Armas, is this stunning 16-century relic and landmark. Admire the facade from the outside but make sure to approach the beautiful gold-leaf altar as well as the insane blend of European and Andean styles, reflective of its time.
