Description

We’ll begin by picking you up from your accommodation within the Sacred Valley. Our first stop will be a traditional Andean market, where local farmers and vendors known as caseros, share their fresh products. Together, we’ll select the ingredients for our cooking class, connecting directly with the living roots of Peruvian gastronomy. We’ll travel to our home in Arín, surrounded by majestic mountains, waterfalls, and the serene energy of nature. We’ll host a hands-on cooking workshop, where each participant will choose one traditional Peruvian dish to prepare - You can pick any dish you’d like to make, even if it’s not on the list. -Ceviche – the iconic Peruvian dish made with fresh fish, lime, and local flavors. -Papa a la Huancaína – a creamy potato dish with a classic yellow chili sauce. -Ají de Gallina – shredded chicken in a rich, slightly spicy yellow pepper sauce. -Tamales – made with corn dough and filled following a traditional family recipe. -Causa Limeña – layers of mashed yellow potato with avocado, lime, and local ingredients. We’ll cook using fresh, seasonal ingredients and apply ancestral techniques with a modern, conscious approach. As we prepare the meal, we’ll share insights about Andean traditions, conscious eating, and the connection between food, music, and nature.
