Caldo de Gallina Doña Juana

Ten soles fixed what the altitude broke

Good

Hen broth deep enough to stand a spoon in, served on a plastic stool between porters at 8am — it repaired my altitude-wrecked second morning better than the pharmacy did.

Bad

Gone before 10am most days, the ají she offers should be measured in drops not spoons, and market-stall seating means your knees negotiate with strangers.

Verdict

Every traveler's first Cusco morning should start on one of these stools; the squeamish-about-markets crowd can pay six times more for a lesser broth on the Plaza.
