Signature Dishes and Andean Staples

Our carefully crafted menus highlight the rich flavors of Peru. We ensure every meal is a delightful part of your trekking adventure.

• Rice: We are significant rice consumers, so this versatile grain will almost always be present. We offer it in a variety of delicious presentations.
• Potatoes: Our ancestors left us a legacy of over 3000 potato varieties. We are pleased to offer some of these unique types during your treks or at local restaurants.
• Corn: Our region produces a wide selection of corn annually. We gladly introduce you to some of these distinct varieties.
• Stuffed Hot Pepper (Rocoto Relleno): This traditional dish features a flavorful mixture of vegetables and meat (chicken or beef). The filling is carefully inserted into a hot pepper, then covered with cheese and steamed to preserve its fragrance. A delicious vegetarian version is also available upon request.
• Stuffed Potato (Papa Rellena): In this dish, the potato is mashed, then a filling of different vegetables is prepared. The filling is rolled inside the mashed potato, then lightly fried. We serve it with a traditional fresh salad.
• Quinoa: Our unique preparation of quinoa includes serving it as rice or crafting delightful desserts. We also offer a typical and comforting quinoa soup.
• Trout: We prepare trout in many ways, including steaming it to maintain its texture and aroma. Fried trout, often accompanied by olive sauce, is another popular choice.
• Alpaca: Alpaca meat is highly regarded in Peru as a very healthy option, low in cholesterol. We proudly feature alpaca meat in all our trekking menus.
• Chicken: Chicken is a vital protein source, ensuring you have energy for your trek.
