There are many ingredients and seasonings around the big oven
The production process is clear at a glance, and it looks very impressive
Alpaca barbecue
The texture is huge and better than expected
But the taste is a little woody, but not sour, and it is well roasted
The seasoning is simple and direct, and the secret sauce is well matched
Secret roasted guinea pig
The shape is really a bit surprising, I don’t know if it is cute or scary
But the meat quality and taste are really good, it’s delicious

Secret roasted beef heart Peruvian roasted pork
The local ingredients are really good, and they taste very delicious
The taste is also different, tight and smooth, and the seasoning is super fragrant

The surrounding scenery is beautiful and even more beautiful after sunset. It may be a bit cold outside, but you can choose to sit indoors and then come out to take pictures.

Super tasty! We came in on a rainy day so I was in the mood for some soup and a hearty meal. I ordered the tomato soup and wow. It was hands down the best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Was just enough for an appetizer to not fill me up but enough to cure my soup craving. Next I had the chicken with yellow sauce and potatoes which was very tasty as well. After they bring around a cart of dessert. I was full from the soup and main course so wasn’t in the mood for dessert. But after seeing some of the options in person on the cart I suddenly had a huge sweet tooth and wanted the chocolate cake they offered. (If more restaurants did this I probably would order dessert more often). If you’re in Cusco and are looking for a good meal definitely stop by you won’t regret it!
The store is on the west side of the church square. In addition to dining, there is also a bar and fruit drinks. I ordered the famous millet chicken soup. It tastes good with white rice and other colors. I ordered fruit drinks, freshly squeezed juice, orange juice salmon + ingredients O and corn. It is sour, sticky, salty and sweet. It is an appetizer but the quantity can be relatively large! The corn here is super large and of different colors, as big as a fingernail. The screen is soaked in water when taking pictures. The pictures cannot be provided, so I will take them again.

Traditional Peruvian food, good taste and cheap price. Much better than those who stand on the street to solicit customers around the square. The restaurant is very quiet and the environment is elegant. The owner and his family are very enthusiastic. There is absolutely no problem ordering in English. Highly recommended
Family restaurant, the owner and staff are very friendly.

This is a very famous local restaurant that attracts tourists from all over the world. The decoration of the restaurant is very unique. I saw tourists from all over the world dining here. The taste is pretty good, although I usually don’t eat much Western food.
Great, great, finally had a delicious meal in Cusco. The mushroom chicken soup was light and appetizing. The seafood risotto was also very delicious. It is worthy of being ranked sixth. The waiter's service was very good, highly recommended.

I asked for a restaurant recommendation to a hotel receptionist, and he told me to go to this place. Nice atmosphere with great staffs, and amazing food. I went there alone but there was a space for kids to play too. Very recomendable.
D3, Lima-Cusco
We had breakfast at the hotel at 6:30 in the morning, and the driver came to pick us up at Lima Airport at 7 o'clock. The journey took about 40 minutes. Our flight number was LA2037, 10:00-11:30, Lima to Cusco. The airport waiting room in Lima was like our bus station, with a lot of people.
Cusco (Cusco means "navel" and "center of the world"), the ancient city was built in the early Inca Empire in the 11th century. It reached its peak in the 15th century with the Inca Empire and developed into the capital and holy city of the empire. It was also the political, economic, cultural and religious center of the empire. Although it was destroyed during the Spanish colonial period, it still retains a large number of Inca civilization monuments. The altitude here is about 3,400 meters. When you first arrive, you will have a little altitude sickness. Cusco is also the only way to Machu Picchu. We will make a short stop here.
The plane arrived in Cusco at about 11:30 noon. We checked into the Wyndham Costa Del Sol Cusco, the hotel in the old town. After putting down our luggage and taking a short rest at the hotel, we went to the old town for lunch.
Lunch: Nuna Raymi, a restaurant with a rating of 5.0 on TripAdvisor. The entrance is not very eye-catching, but there is a different world after entering the door. As soon as you enter the door, you can see various local specialties. We ordered roasted alpaca, roasted rat, beef, avocado salad, etc. The taste is not bad, but it is OK.
The afternoon tour route starts from the viewing platform. On the way to the viewing platform, we saw many ancient stones preserved by the Inca Empire. There is no adhesive between the stones, but they can be tightly laid together, which is similar to the mortise and tenon joint technology of ancient buildings in China.
Continue to climb up. It will take about 700 to 800 meters and more than ten minutes to reach the viewing platform San Blas View Point, where you can overlook the entire Cusco. If you come in the evening, you can take pictures of the sunset + thousands of lights. It is really beautiful.
After coming down from the viewing platform, we came to Plaza de Arma, which is the center of the entire city. Next to it is the cathedral. Many hotels, restaurants, and shopping stores are nearby. The cathedral is the most gorgeous building in the entire square. Tickets can be purchased to enter. It is said that various religious artworks are displayed in the church, and there are exquisite murals on the walls. The most famous one is the painting of "The Last Supper" by a Peruvian painter imitating Leonardo da Vinci, but we did not go in due to time constraints.
Cusco is really my favorite ancient city in South America this time. It is very charming. Any narrow path is very atmospheric. It is worth spending a whole day wandering slowly.
