First visit to another latin country. Recommendations of food in Peru?

r/

I literally just arrived in Peru. It’s the first time I visit another latin country that is not my own and OMG people were so friendly so far and the few things I ate already were so good. ❤️❤️ Just tasted Inca Cola and loved. at this point of the journey when I went to USA I was already feeling sick 🤣🤣 Peru, you are bit by bit getting a special spot in my heart.

Those brazilians that are egocentric that think we are not latin because we don’t speak spanish need to visit other countries and latam countries more. I’ve never been in a place outside of Brazil that the people’s energy felt so much like the same. Not even Portugal.

Even considering I was part butchering spanish, part talking spanish like Tarzan and part putting portuguese in the sentence, people were so nice and friendly so far. In a way that made me think a lot of Brazil as I compared with my visits to other countries, where nothing like that happened. some highlights to Germant and Portugal that people were very rude. and Japan that, although polite, extremely formal and artificial.

Anyway, my dear peruvian hermanos, do you have any recommendations of things I should eat in Cuzco?

    Go to Sam Blas market in Cusco City, small but really nice and good prices!
    A really nice restaurant close to Plaza de armas called “Rucula.” Try the alpaca there, it is amazing!!

    I don’t know of specific restaurants or places to eat in Cusco, but the dishes you should try if you have time:

    • Ceviche
    • Pollo a la brasa OR pollada (I prefer pollada but pollo a la brasa is more traditional)
    • Anticuchos
    • Ají de Gallina
    • Lomo saltado
    • Arroz chaufa (I like aeropuerto)

    And for drinks other than Inca Kola try chicha morada and emoliente.

    I’d skip the cuy (and I only mention it because you’re in the sierra)
