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. 

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. 

Local is a charming restaurant and café in the heart of San Blas, the coolest area in Cusco. Although this place is relaxed and casual, their menu has many loyal fanatics. They serve Peruvian classics with modern twists, delicious breakfast options, cocktails and desserts. This welcoming place is a favorite for those who love long lunches or a feast for brunch. 

Just a few blocks away from the beautiful Plaza de Armas is a colonial building that hosts the iconic Cicciolina. This renowned place blends the best Andean ingredients and techniques with classic Mediterranean recipes. Visit their tapas bar to get a bit of everything and then transition to the salon for a proper meal... legend says the gnocchi with Andean cheese are other-worldly. We suggest making prior reservations, yes plural. You will certainly be back.
