CUSCO, PERU

One of our favorite things on a trip through Peru was spending time in historic Cusco. Pictured above is an evening stroll past Cusco Cathedral. A 17th-century Spanish church on the city‘s main plaza. Old Cusco, is known for its rich culture, history and vibrant culinary scene.

On one amazing evening we found ourselves in a coffee shop sitting on a second story balcony as the Sun turned the square below into a magical scene! Here are some popular restaurants and a cafe to consider if you find yourself in Old Cusco:
