Traditional Amazonian cooking workshop

This experience includes a workshop focused on Amazonian gastronomy, characterized by its unique food culture based on fish, fruits, and vegetables like yucca, plantain, and chonta, commonly found in the Peruvian jungle.

We will meet at 8 am at Hospedaje Los Incas to begin our journey. First, we will visit a local farm or plantation to select the best fruits and vegetables for our dishes.

Next, we will go to the local market to choose fresh ingredients for cooking. Upon returning, we will prepare a meal consisting of two starters, two main courses, and a dessert while learning about the history of Amazonian gastronomy and the properties of each ingredient.

The starters will be Amazonian ceviche and chonta or palm heart salad. Participants can select from options including fish casserole, patarashca, tacacho, and inchicapi for the main courses. The dessert will be revealed on the day of the activity.

After about 2.5 hours of cooking, we will sit down to enjoy the dishes we have prepared, accompanied by a fruit drink.

The workshop will conclude after lunch at 3 pm.
