The Catador, which is the name of this vineyard, has passed through the hands of 5 different generations. Over the years they have had to work to balance the tension between keeping tradition alive and incorporating new technology to produce enough wine. This whole process is completely handmade and is part of the Inca tradition. Different types of grapes grow here, including Quebranta, Criolla Negra, Mollar, Uvina, Torontel, Moscatel and Italy, which are the most popular.
Peru, my longed-for Peru, is a culinary reason that is gradually gaining worldwide fans with its traditional Peruvian foods. Throughout the country you can find a wide variety of foods, of which we go as an appetizer with 8 dishes that you must eat in Lima, the capital, a gastronomic destination par excellence.
Before continuing, let me tell you that to get to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town), without being Peruvian or foreign resident in the country, you can take the tourist trains of the Peru Rail or Inka Rail companies that operate in this area. I traveled as a Peruvian with Peru Rail for the previous opportunities that I went to Machu Picchu, since by time or ignorance, I could not buy the tickets for the local train to Machu Picchu Pueblo.
Culture and technology come together through the new web portal “Museums Online”, where all users can find: a georeferenced museum search engine, make virtual tours, enter the online catalog of cultural assets and access a new mobile app "QR tour of museums" to improve the experience of visits.
Machu Picchu is one of the 7 Wonders of the World and any trip to Peru must include your visit. This citadel impresses anyone, not only for its buildings, which can still be perceived, but for its incredible location. Machu Picchu is between mountains, almost 2500 meters above sea level, and one is not able to imagine how such a huge construction could be completed in such an inhospitable place. In addition, Machu Picchu emanates a special energy and we recommend you visit it first thing in the morning, especially at dawn, when you will have it practically for yourself. The sunrise in Machu Picchu can become the star of your trip to Peru and you should not miss it.
If you are looking for how to buy tickets to Machu Picchu online and in person, in this article I will help you get them on the official website. Also options when tickets to Machu Picchu are sold out.
Cusco is the archeological capital of South America, located in Peru, today it has around 300,000 inhabitants and is 3,326 meters above sea level. It has an excellent infrastructure dedicated to tourism (possibly the best in Peru), with hotels, restaurants and services that adapt to the thousands of tourists that come from all over the planet. You can buy clothes, crafts, etc.
Many times, the impressive magnetism of Machu Picchu can make us forget everything mundane, but what we cannot forget is to protect this wonder, Cultural Heritage of Humanity. And the first step for this is to reduce as much as possible the garbage that accumulates daily in the Inca citadel.
The night touches almost the dawn on the terrace of the Osso restaurant, where the gin-tonics try to appease the impressive feast that we just hit in the best meat place in Peru and, perhaps, one of the best in the world. “What are you going to do tomorrow?” Rafa asks me, “I pass by you at 10 in the morning. Let's eat some things. ” In addition to being a close friend and proud amateur chef, Rafael Roselló is the operations manager of Quintessentially in Latin America, a company dedicated to giving access, among other things, to the most outstanding restaurants on the planet.
