Pachamanca Tour in Cusco

Hotel Pickup and Journey to Chincheros
The day will begin early with pickup from your hotel or accommodation. We will then travel
for approximately one hour to the community of Pongobamba, located at an altitude of 3,000
m.a.s.l.
Arrival and Welcome
Upon arrival, the Vida Andina community will warmly welcome visitors with traditional
Andean music and dances. Visitors will then be offered traditional Andean clothing to wear
during the experience.
Pachamanca Preparation
To prepare the Pachamanca, the ingredients will first be selected, including potatoes, sweet
potatoes, broad beans, corn on the cob, and different types of meat. You will then observe the
stones being heated with firewood until they reach the appropriate temperature.
Next, the cooking area will be prepared. The hot stones and ingredients will be placed inside,
then covered with leaves and earth.
Finally, once the cooking process is complete, the Pachamanca will be uncovered and served
so you can enjoy this traditional Andean dish together with the local community.
Farewell and Return to Cusco
At the end of the experience, we will say goodbye to the community before returning to the
city of Cusco.
