A Fallen Angel

We spent our last night in Cusco at Fallen Angel bar & restuarant. This venue is located within the historical centre of the city with the whole conception of the bar revolving around the angel theme. At the entrance lies the first stages in an angel's journey, always being observed by Cherubs. This is followed by a second space dominated by a large heart-shaped sofa. And then a third, more aggressive in character, wherein lies a bed full of latex hearts. Then, almost before exiting onto the main courtyard, you come upon the earthly and worldly pathway leading you to the VIP Lounge, which happens to be the chamber of Cupid!

Once outside in the main courtyard, we found a juxtaposed arrangement, involving a Colonial Period patio courtyard built atop foundations dating- back to Inca times, and with a Republican Period architectural touch-up. Amidst, or lather above all of this, is set a aerial light; and shadow installation of a modern industrial nature and character.

The specialty of the the food menu consisted of meats, a wide range of flavours in alpaca steaks like you have most certainly never ever tasted before; such as, a steak in sauce of Port wine and balsamic vinegar; scattered atop with rose petals, also one consists of a steak in rocoto chili pepper sauce; and yet another, where the rocoto pepper had been made into a marmalade -a hot and burning spice converted to sweetness. We finished the night with one of Fallen Angel's unique deserts, with the girl's still licking their lips and salavating for more.

After our last night in Cusco at the ultra and unbelievably kitsch interior of Fallen Angel, we rolled into to Puno early evening, so all we saw were thousands of lights beginning to glow in a semicircle around a black expanse - Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Not much to write about, hence the Fallen Angel review! Tomorrow we're off on a homestay on an island on Lake Titicaca.
