But I ended up spending a couple of hours in the lovely outdoor courtyard, talking to my wonderful server, Ever, and the owners about Cusco and Peru‘s bright future. They do serve Cusco’s local delicacy, guinea pig.

Alpaca Pizza & Guinea Pig Dinner

Located in the San Blas district of Cusco, Pachapapa is situated near the San Blas plaza. An outdoor dining area and live musician are the perfect touch to a relaxing day in Cusco. Try the cured alpaca pizza or if you are daring, the guinea pig. Be patient and plan ahead, the guinea pig takes an hour to cook. I also suggest making a reservation.
