From the Plaza de Armas square in Cusco, which is the cultural center of the city, you will find many restaurants and cafes that have a wonderful view of the city, and it is ideal for spending the evening to watch the locals and adapt to their culture.

In the middle of the square lies a garden of manicured plants and a statue carved to the memory of the ruler of the Inca Pachakti, and opposite the square the huge Cusco Cathedral, many take tours accompanied by a tour guide inside to discover the secrets of entering the sun and many crypts.

The cathedral, a symbol of the Spanish conquest, has a unique Peruvian touch. It is a copy of da Vinci's "Last Supper". Upon exiting the church, the visitor soon discovers that he is living an experience that blends Incan influences with Spanish.

A short distance from the square, the San Blas neighborhood is famous for its attractive architecture and shops, as the terrain becomes steep on the way to it, and the Inca Hatunrumyok Road is a remnant of the very old city, which is a cobblestone road lined with streets and small shops where they sell Original souvenirs in the Plaza de Armas.

Meals can be squeamish for non-Muslims on their table. Capbia, which has provided a cheap alternative to livestock for centuries, is served in many Peruvian delicacies. These foods hold historical and regional significance for Peruvians. Capia even appears in the version of the Last Supper in the cathedral.
