Absolutely fascinating!
I expected to sit down and eat, but we actually got to see how the meal was prepared. Watching everything come together was probably my favorite part.

Good to Know
Discover the ancient culinary tradition of Pachamanca in the Sacred Valley, where the flavors of the Peruvian Andes come alive. This unique cooking method, celebrated since pre-Inca times, uses hot stones to prepare a feast underground, honoring Mother Earth. Join in the preparation of succulent meats like beef, lamb, and guinea pig, alongside native potatoes and Andean herbs, all cooked to perfection in an earth oven. Engage with the rich cultural heritage of the Andes while savoring a meal that represents community and respect for nature.

This was much more than lunch
The meal was delicious, but the preparation made the experience completely different. Seeing the traditional method firsthand gave the food a whole new meaning.
