I recently did the Backstreet Eats food tour in Cusco – this is a great food tour right in the heart of the town Centre. The friendly local guide takes you around some of the lesser known streets where you get try some delicious, traditional Peruvian food and drinks. Not only do you get to taste everything, however you are are also getting to meet and support the local people along the way. I got to try lots of new and interesting things whilst learning some history in a fun way. The night finishes with learning how to make pisco sour and then enjoying it with new-found friends. Would highly recommend!
