What makes this activity unique?

This experience feels less like a lesson and more like being invited into a local kitchen for a real Cusco meal. The menu brings together flavors tied to Peru’s highlands, including chicha morada, native potatoes, and chicharrón cusqueño, while your host shares the stories and traditions behind each bite. That mix of food, conversation, and home-style atmosphere is what makes the experience feel personal and memorable.

Join your local host in Cusco for a relaxed 4-hour BBQ experience built around good food, local drinks, and time shared at the table. Start with a classic Peruvian drink, then move into a menu that blends grilled specialties, Cusco-inspired flavors, and familiar accompaniments that make the experience feel warm and easy to enjoy.

As you cook and taste, your host explains the cultural context behind each dish and how these flavors fit into everyday life in Cusco and the Peruvian highlands. It is a social, home-style experience where guests can eat well, ask questions, and enjoy the pace.
