Hi Svenja, Glad you liked the post. The great thing about Cusco is that there are a lot of food specialities. Many of which do not include Cuy. There are lots of options that can be explored and enjoyed! Cheers:)

Thank you! Yes meat might not be for everyone; in Peru, guinea pigs were eaten by the Incas and remain a tradition. Besides there are a lot of vegetarian options with quinoa, corn, potatoes, and other grains. If you eat fish, there is great ceviche.

Hi Eva, no worries eating meat might not be for everyone, and there are options to try local specialties without meat. Here in Peru there are dishes made with Quinoa, potatoes and more.

Thanks! Yes it is a bit impressive on the plate.

Hi Mary, glad to hear that you’ll be visiting Peru, there is so much to do here! The guinea pig is not that bad, not much meat to eat actually. The food is amazing here, you will have plenty to enjoy besides the guinea pig 🙂

Thank you Justine! Don’t be afraid to try them, the meat is very lean and healthy.
