After getting your fill of historic sites, it's time to taste the food and drink on offer. Head to the Chocolate Museum – the Choco Museo – and taste delicious delicacies such as cacao tea, fondue and iced chocolate. There is even the opportunity to make your own chocolate and the museum runs a range of Peruvian cooking classes for the foodies amongst you. During your stay make sure to try the choclo con queso, a regional strain of corn on the cob topped with cheese and chili sauce.
At night, the historic streets are alive with a younger crowd, eager to see whether Cusco lives up to its title as Peru's party capital. There are a plethora of bars and clubs on offer and the best bit is that you can get a buzz on a budget.
Original Highlight
Located on a hill top high above Cusco, the striking Cristo Blanco statue provides spectacular city views and is well worth the hike.
