Farm and Food Lamay

In this activity we will have the opportunity to meet a local community and learn about their culture and farming techniques, as well as try some of their daily meals.
After visiting the farms, we will meet with local women from Lamay who will share with Us their life stories and knowledge about their culinary experience.

This is a special day to learn about Cusco and the Sacred Valley gastronomy,
discovering the amazing variety of local agricultural resources and biodiversity, to
later put into practice the cooking lessons at La Base Lamay.
We will leave Lamay towards the community of Huayllafara, where the locals will take Us to
visit their farms with traditional crops (like potatoes, tarwi, quinuas, beans
among others) and will teach us about their traditional farming techniques, while we
taste some of their local produce.
We will learn about the local culture and their daily activities, according to the time of
year and the agricultural calendar. The tour and interpretation will be focused in the
agricultural and food processing techniques, as the preparation of chuño and
moraya, washing and uses of the quinua, elaboration of Chicha de Jora and other
interesting Andean activities. Then we will drive to La Base Lamay, where a local woman will share with her story and teach Us how to cook some of the classic recipes using local and native products in the cooking process. We will have a nutritious lunch and then return to your hotel or to your next destination.
