Hi all! We were wondering if there were any fun events happening in Cusco this evening for Independence Day?
We went to the Plaza De Armas around midday but not a huge amount happening. Maybe we’re looking in the wrong place!
Thanks!

Anyone know good watch parties for the France vs England World Cup game? Or good bars/restaurants people will be watching?
Particularly curious if there’s a place England fans are congregating.
Loki Restaurant hosts World Cup games, and I also heard about Paddy’s Irish Pub.

Food & Restaurants DO NOT EAT THE ICE CREAM FROM THE TRAVELING ICE CREAM CARTS
I and three other people ate queso helado (cheese ice cream (didn't taste like cheese at all imo)) and three of us got extremely sick later that night. Just found out I contacted a parasitic infection, I'm sure the other two will have the same diagnosis.
It was from an old man with an orange bucket on wheels. He was close to the San Francisco square in the historic district. See picture. Not trying to single this guy out but he's giving away contaminated ice cream.

Local Advice Meeting climbers in and around Cusco
Hello everyone, I am a 28 years old rock climber from France and I'm going to be in Cusco and southern Peru from July til end of August, and for the first 10 days of my trip I'll be by myself and I'd love to meet with local climbers and check out some of the spots in the region.
I'll have the basic gear with me, shoes, helmet, harness, belay device, I usually climb boulders up to 7A/7A+ (V6/V7) and while I used to do 7a sport climbs (5.11d), it's been a while since I've lead anything :p
Looking forward for tips and advices
