Off The Deep End

Our second to last night in Cusco we headed out to a touristy meal and folk dance exposition at The Inka Wall. This place was just down the street from our hostel and featured a huge buffet dinner and dancing exemplifying the cultures of Peru. All the eras were represented from the Incan styles to Spanish and European styles. Even the pseudo futuristic space bugs versus the ice princess made an appearance complete with Yeti monster.

Walking through Lima we were accosted by a growing number of hawkers attempting to get us into their various restaurants. Their pitches involved their food, music and how many free drinks they would give us. Eventually we settled on one restaurants with the best looking combo of menu items, price and two free drinks each!

Our last meal in Bariloche we ate at La Alpina, a local restaurant tavern decked out in Bavarian style. They had a sweet wood fire in the middle of the room and served up some delicious food. Trout, chicken, steak, pasta and more.

In search of good seafood we were directed to El Maritimo by of hostel owner. This modest seafood restaurant features fresh caught fish cooked to order. They also offer ceviche, mussels, calamari and other delicacies of the deep.
While not the best knock your socks off food, this place serves up huge portions for cheap prices. The clientele is a good mix of locals and tourists for a more authentic feel.

Happy hour at La Regata Pub doesn't work like normal happy hours. Check out this video to find out the quirk this local establishment has thrown into the quintessential bar offering.

La Regata Pub has quickly become one of our favorite places in Algarrobo. They are located right on the main drag at the intersection of Av. Algarrobo and Av. Carlos Alessandri. We singled them out because they have the best french fries, papas fritas, in town and at great prices. Their staff is friendly and helpful and the drinks are very good and very strong.
We came back today for happy hour and drank several delicious Pisco based drinks. Their catch on happy hour is that although the prices go up from earlier in the day they give you every other drink for free.

Puerto Sagua serves up delicious Cuban food, check out the photo entries we've posted as well.
