TYPICAL DISHES AND BEVERAGES
In a city so full of traditions, such as Cusco, the food makes
part of the warm atmosphere tourists find there.
Most well-known among the Cusco dishes are, rocoto relleno,
which, unlike other parts of the country, include peanuts, green
peas, a battered egg and gilded potatoes. Another popular dish
is the puchero, a soup based on steak, lamb head, bacon and
raisins, to which pieces of cabbage, potatoes, chickpeas and
rice are added. Other delicious dishes include the rabbit or
cuy (guinea pig) pepián, kapiches cheese, and chunocola.
To drink, the local beer, aguardiente or chicha are recommended.
