Artists hammer silver and weave textiles in open studios where you can watch authentic Peruvian handicrafts come to life. Intimate restaurants serve fusion Andean cuisine in converted colonial mansions with courtyards and original stone walls. Getting around requires sturdy shoes—most visitors walk uphill from Plaza de Armas in about 15 minutes. The steep terrain creates dramatic views over red-tiled roofs toward distant Andean peaks.
