Highlights
This activity is special because it offers an authentic, hands-on Pachamanca experience prepared using traditional underground cooking techniques. Travelers are guided by local chefs and actively participate in the process, learning about Andean ingredients and ancestral traditions. The experience takes place in a natural setting near Cusco, away from crowds, allowing for a deeper cultural connection. More than just a meal, it is a communal ritual that honors Pachamama (Mother Earth) and provides a meaningful way to experience Peru’s living culinary heritage.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
