Eating in Cusco
Eating in Cusco Reviews
 In the south valley, life is more tasty :P Sep 22, 2009
We all know Cusco is a very touristy city and has a wide offer of food including international but also typical dishes.
If you want to have a more real experience and have time, I'd suggest you to go a bit further away, leave the city and visit the surroundings, which also have some Inca Ruins and awesome landscapes. If you want to try duck, go to Lucre which is further south. If you are looking for cuy (guinea pig), visit Oropesa. They also have this famous bread called Oropesa or Chuta. Big and round. If you want chicharrones (fried pork), go to Saylla. Of course you can find all these dishes in Cusco city, but if you have time and want to be more adventurous, this could be fun. I got all this info at the Food Festival and can't wait to go there, hehehe  Part of the Mistura 2009 - Lima Food Festival, it was a food paradise! travel blog |

I kept a journal while in Peru. It's a few years old, and I typed it up all as one entry, mainly because I have no idea what the exact dates are. Headings indicate the basic setting for each entry.
Written on the plane to Lima:

After machu picchu, we returned to Cusco for the inti raymi, which takes place in sacsayhuaman. We stayed at hotel oblitas. (s/d $ 18/26). It's 1/2 block from the main plaza, close to everything pretty much. The place was decent, with hot show…eat here, and there is a lot variety. However, I like to eat where locals eat since is usually cheaper and tastier!

The Inca
Trail – day three
This was
perhaps the hardest day for me. Today would be an 8 hour hike over two mountain
peaks.
When we

pizzas very nicely, they bake them in a stone oven and then present… The Inca Trail - day three (unforgettable) |
