Traditional Amazonian cooking workshop

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage with Amazonian gastronomy, distinct from other Peruvian cuisines, focusing on fish, fruits, and vegetables such as yucca, plantain, and chonta.

Meet at 8 am at the Hospedaje Los Incas to begin the journey. The first stop is a local farm or plantation to select fresh produce for our dishes.

Next, a visit to the local market will provide additional fresh ingredients for cooking. Upon returning, we will apply our cooking skills to prepare two starters, two main courses, and a dessert, while learning about the history of Amazonian gastronomy and the properties of each ingredient.

The starters include Amazonian ceviche and chonta or palm heart salad, along with options for main courses such as fish casserole, patarashca, tacacho, and inchicapi. The dessert will be revealed on the day of the activity.

After approximately 2 and a half hours of cooking, we will enjoy the dishes prepared, accompanied by a fruit drink. The workshop concludes after lunch, at 3 pm.
