Chicha is a widely loved restaurant by the acclaimed chef Gaston Acurio. This friendly locale offers a modern take on Peruvian cuisine, featuring local ingredients and Andean traditions. Try their causas and ceviches, and if you are tempted, this is the right place to go for a dish with alpaca. Visit for lunch and sip the afternoon away with a chicha sour as you relish the view, overlooking Plaza de Armas. 

One thing we believe visitors must do in Cusco is try some of the many artisanal beers. Cerveceria Del Valle Sagrado is one of the best places to do so. Spend an evening or an afternoon with friends tasting different brews in this casual spot. 

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.

Qucharitas is known for its crazy ice cream flavours. Of course, they are all based on popular ingredients from the Andes: from Kiwicha and Quinoa to Eucalyptus. However, the most liked flavour is Lúcuma. Although this fruit does not grow in the Sierra, it is very obvious that all Peruvians, whether they live in the Amazon or the Sacred Valley, have an obsession with it. If you follow our suggestion you will probably understand why.
