OUR MEALS ALONG THE INKA TRAIL

 gastronomy along inca trail

OUR GASTRONOMY
Peruvian gastronomy is an unforgettable experience on the Inka Trail, rich in flavors and diversity. The main ingredients of our dishes include rice, potatoes, chicken, pork, lamb and fish, many of them seasoned with Peruvian chili, which varies in color from yellow to red, like the famous rocoto.
Our chefs prepare delicious meals with these ingredients, giving you an authentic taste of Andean cuisine. Along the way, you will enjoy fresh and nutritious dishes designed to keep your energy up as you explore the breathtaking scenery of the Inka Trail. Each meal is a celebration of Peru's rich culinary heritage, combining tradition and flavor in every bite

It is important to mention that if you have any food allergies or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, Inca Trail Expeditions will adapt the meals for you during the tour.

Our breakfast offer includes:
Pancakes with caramel sauce: inspired by the ancient geoglyphs of the Nazca Lines, a UNESCO World Heritage site in southern Peru.
Thick oatmeal with large chunks of fresh, sweet apples.
Pan Chuta Andino: Traditional bread baked in colonial ovens.
Stuffed Omelets: With peppers, celery, carrots, radishes and cheese.
Enjoy a nutritious and flavorful breakfast, designed to energize you while you explore the majestic Peruvian landscapes.
