With the help of a professional chef, you will discover the unique flavours of Peruvian cuisine. You will visit a local market, choose exotic ingredients and learn to cook typical dishes.

During the Sacred Ceremony, the Master prays with three Coca leaves (Kintu) that Mother Earth gave to us and to the Apus (Great Mountain Spirits). The shamanic healer also uses items like candy, colored wools, myrrh, frankincense, tallow and a variety of foods and herbs that Andean people called “reach or dispatch“. These items have to be specifically prepared for the offering by the Master or Andean Priest, who is also called «Paqos». Each element has its spiritual meaning andis therefore part of the ceremony. The session ends with a last prayer to the world and to our life. The online course will be transmitted via Zoom. The offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth) allows us to give thanks to everything we have been receiving and appreciate her generosity, creating a feeling of harmony and deep connection with nature, letting her know that we feel unconditional love for Mother Earth and the spirits within us.

Cuzco has a traditional cuisine as storied as this ancient Andean city itself, but it is most often created in family kitchens that are not accessible to visitors. With this home cooking experience, join a Cusqueña chef at the market to purchase ingredients and then try your hand at creating classic dishes at a home kitchen. End by sampling your handiwork over lunch, paired with local wine and a pisco sour.
