Pre-Incan Ancient Stone. If you know about Sacsayhuaman, it's incredible to see this stone in the middle of the city. Packed with history and mystery, visiting this stone is a treat that many do not get to see.Â

Exceptional Pisco Sours
Pisco Sour is the national drink of Peru, and for a good reason. Pisco is made only in Peru and it is a high proof liqour. The most typical sour will have a 3:1:1 ratio of pisco: lime juice: simple syrup and made complete with an egg white foam. The best piscos are shaken, not blended. All found below.
