I photographed this menu in Aguas Calientes, Peru, in May 2004.
Pure of Pope? Spiritually satisfying I’m sure.
Aguas Calientes was built in the 1970′s primarily to cater for tourists visiting Machu Picchu. So apart from being a key access point to an amazing archaelogical site, it is also famous for its UTI inducing hot springs and its beautiful setting nestled deep within a valley; massive vertical mountains rising up on all sides.
Unfortunately due to it’s tourist inspired nature, the food on offer is somewhat geared towards an international palate. Therefore pizza restaurants abound. Hopefully they’ll amend such travesty and start serving their own wonderful local dishes.

LOL! One pure-pope beefsteak for me, thanks! Looks like you had a great holiday
I had a brilliant holiday Ellie. Peru is a brilliant country to visit (…and one I’m sure I’ll be returning to).
