Itinerary

"Pachamanca" meaning in Quechua "Earth Pot" is a traditional cooking technique based on the stewing by rock heat, which are previously heated. The main idea is to cook ingredients with this heat underground, using banana leaves to separate ingredients from rocks and soil. The main ingredients are lamb, chicken, pork and guinea pig previously marinated with Andean spices, also different sorts of potatoes, corn and Andean aromatic herbs which give a unique flavor to this exotic dish. You will have the chance to participate in the preparation of a traditional Pachamanca and learn the ancient techniques used for centuries by Andean people to create this unique way of ooking.
