💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra ají panca to add heat to your grilled meats if you have a high tolerance for spice.
- Order a side of papas nativas (native potatoes) to try the unique purple and red varieties grown in the Sacred Valley.
- Save room for pisco sour, but be prepared for it to be served with a dash of angostura bitters and no lime wedge.
