Cusco's Plaza de Armas sits at the heart of the city's historic center, framed by colonial arcades built directly onto Inca stonework.<\/p>\r\n
The square has served as the ceremonial heart of the city since Inca times, when it was known as Huacaypata.\u00a0A handful of restaurants overlook it directly, and a private balcony table, arranged in advance, gives an unobstructed view of the square once the evening lights come on.<\/p>","image":26412},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_image_block","title":"A Menu Built for the Altitude","copy":"
At 3,400 meters, Cusco's kitchens lean on ingredients suited to the climate: alpaca, quinoa in its many varieties, and the high-altitude potato species that Peru grows more of than anywhere else on earth.<\/p>\r\n
