Mil Cusco

Mil Cusco, the latest brainchild of Virgilio Martínez, is perched at 3,600 metres above sea level near the Incan ruins of Moray, and it's just been named No.75 on the World's 50 Best 2025 list. This Andean microcosm of Lima's iconic Central is a culinary pilgrimage that demands effort but rewards with an eight-course tasting menu crafted by head chef Luis Valderrama, who works closely with anthropologists and Indigenous communities to source every ingredient sustainably from the surrounding ecosystem. The result is a dining experience that feels as much like a cultural immersion as it does a meal, with dishes that tell the story of the Sacred Valley itself.
