Bachamanca

When we arrive at Collpa Lodge we are served Chicha ( traditional Black Corn Juice ) and then watch the cooks place potatoes, corn, fava beans, lamb, chicken, pork, and guinea pig ( a Peruvian delicacy ) into a stone fire pit.

The stones are covered with wood and cloths, and then covered with dirt to allow the food to cook in the stones for 50 minutes.

We then sit down to the Bachamanca traditional meal, complete with Black Corn pudding ( Mazamorra Morada ).

Delicious !!
