Day Two Hundred Seventy-Seven: Alpaca and Guinea Pig

We had an absolutely crazy travel day, but we finally made it to Cusco. We had dinner at Chicha, where we got to try some more new-to-us foods, including alpaca and guinea pig. The alpaca meat was wonderful, and the cuy (guinea pig) was pretty good, though it took a bit more mental preapation to eat. We were just so thankful they didn't serve the guinea pig whole, as it is done in many places, but rather as strips of meat.
