Recommendations

  • It is strictly necessary to wear warm clothing (thick jackets, windbreakers, scarves, or gloves), as nights in Cusco are usually very cold due to the altitude.
  • Do not forget your camera or mobile phone with a fully charged battery to capture the stunning night city views.
  • It is very important to wear comfortable shoes or closed sneakers to walk safely on the cobblestone streets during stops.
  • Bring extra cash in Peruvian soles in case you wish to buy snacks, souvenirs, or have dinner after the workshop.

Faqs

The tour begins with hotel pickup between 6:00 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. The entire experience, including visits to illuminated viewpoints and the interactive workshop at the restaurant, lasts approximately 3.5 hours, finishing with your return to the hotel around 9:30 p.m.

Due to Cusco’s altitude (3,400 m.a.s.l.) and the fact that we visit high points such as Cristo Blanco (3,700 m.a.s.l.), temperatures drop significantly at night, often reaching 5°C (41°F) or lower during the dry season. We strongly recommend wearing warm clothing such as thermal jackets, scarves, and gloves.

Children and teenagers are fully welcome to join the historical and photography tour around the city viewpoints. During the gastronomic workshop at the restaurant, minors will be provided with a special non-alcoholic version (fruit cocktail or virgin pisco sour) so they can safely enjoy the culinary experience.

The tour price strictly includes guided service, ingredients, and the Pisco Sour tasting within the interactive workshop. Full meals or à la carte dishes are not included; however, since the activity takes place in a selected traditional restaurant, you may optionally order additional local dishes at an extra cost if you wish.
