El Cafe´ Extra

Cusco, Peru´!

El Cafe Extra is the place I like more in Cusco !
Nice and quite, welcomes tourists and local people !
There are stories about Pablo Neruda and Che Guevara enjoying the nice coffee here when they visited the city…!!!
Not sure it´s true, but what I´m sure is that coffee here, locally produced, really taste great..!
Mr Castro is one of the many regulars, he is nice and friendly although he gets deep in thoughts sometimes !
I love his face and expression! this is one of the many shot I took during one of the many breakfasts at El Cafe´ Extra !
