Traditional Amazonian cooking workshop

This gastronomic experience features a workshop focused on Amazonian gastronomy, distinct from other regions in Peru. The cuisine includes fish and ingredients such as yucca, plantain, and chonta, commonly found in the jungle.

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

Next, we'll go to the local market to choose fresh ingredients for cooking. Upon returning, we will test our chef skills. The meal will consist 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 include Amazonian ceviche and chonta or palm heart salad, typically consumed during Easter. We will choose from options like fish casserole, patarashca, tacacho, and inchicapi for the main courses. A surprise dessert will be prepared on the day.

After about 2.5 hours of cooking, we will sit down to taste the dishes, complemented by a delicious fruit drink.

The workshop concludes after lunch at 3 pm.
