Just a few minutes from Cusco’s main square, is one of the most important cafés in Peru. It doesn’t have Michelin stars, an extensive wine list, or a celebrity owner. But it’s got some of the happiest staff in the country. 

Intrepid launched an emergency appeal via our non-profit, The Intrepid Foundation, with all funds going to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Emergency Appeal.
