Cusco’s cathedral (la Catedral Basilica de la Virgen de la Asunción) is a spectacular building and one of the main pillars that give life to Plaza de Armas. The cathedral, built around the 15th century, showcases the merging of Indigenous and Spanish colonial architecture through its Gothic-Renaissance and Baroque style. This beautiful emblem of the city is adorned with gold, silver, insane wood carvings and sacred masterpieces from Cusco’s Art School from back in the day. Whether it is because of its religious or historical significance, you must walk in. We could spend hours just figuring out its intricate details.


Limo is the best Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) restaurant in the city. We bet you will be craving nigiri and tiradito in Cusco if you come from Lima’s best: Osaka or Matsuei. Visit Limo for a lunch date with a view or dinner accompanied by their heavenly cocktails. If you are a sushi fanatic, this MUST be one of your dining spots during your stay.
