Your Cusco food walking tour starts in Plaza de Armas, by the Starbucks entrance.
Your local, friendly guide will first of all introduce you to the popular Peruvian snack, Tamales, which are wrapped in corn husks. Corn is important to the Andean way of life, and your guide will tell you why. You’ll also learn about the history of the first Inca Palace, the Plaza Nazarenas, Calle Purgatorio, and Ukupacha. Find out more about snakes and what they represent spiritually in the underworld.
Next up, Ceviche! Your trip to Peru is incomplete until you try this national dish. Along the way, you will learn about the different artistic expressions in the San Blas area before stopping for something sweet – Picarones. A classic dessert, similar to a donut glazed with syrup. It will be accompanied by Chicha Morada, a traditional purple corn drink commonly served with meals.
Continuing from there, be ready to try the best coffee in Cusco – Organically blended and made by local farmers. From here you will also learn the history of the Temple of the Sun, and about the most important Temple of the Inca times – Pachacutec.
This Cusco Street food tour would not be complete without trying Anticucho! A street food dish that has an African influence – certainly a must try!
And finally, try your hand at making and tasting Pisco Sour! The final stop on this fabulous Cusco walking food tour where our local bar staff will show you how to make your own Pisco Sour. Then just sit, relax, and enjoy your self-made Pisco Sour in a beautiful setting with your newfound friends!

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!
