Mundo Nuevo

Cuzco


With eye-popping views of the Cathedral, this upstairs bar has a dozen Peruvian microbrews on draft. You could do far worse than watch the sunset on the plaza from here, cold quinoa beer in hand. You can also count on decent pub food and a cheerful atmosphere. With live music from Wednesday to Saturday.
