The Sumaq’s hotel chefs Carlos Pardo Figueroa and Ribelino Alegría are great connoisseurs of the flavors that are hidden by the Apus (mountains); they have rescued many of the fruits of the land that had been forgotten by the Peruvian tables for centuries. Thanks to their work promoting crops in high Andean communities located at more than 12,139 feet and to the research of new products that are fused with contemporary culinary techniques, they’ve given birth to the tasting menu, Flavors of the Andes: Apucc Mikhuna (which in Quechua means the food that the mountains bring us).
The tasting menu, flavors of the Andes: Apucc Mikhuna, revels in an exquisite and rich list of native ingredients that have originality and history. It is a high level gastronomic trip in which more than 35 ingredients coming from sustainable communities located within 50 kilometers surrounding the hotel, merge together.

We will focus on one of the most popular pieces: the Torito de Pucara (or Pucara bull). We will learn its importance and what it represents for the Andean communities. We will also dive into the Peruvian coffee universe and understand why it is one of the best in the world. With all this information, it's time to get down to work! We will receive a blank Torito and all the materials to decorate it as we like while we enjoy a delicious cocktail based on local coffee. While we paint, expert artists will guide us in the technique of Cusquenian colonial gilding, and we will work with metal sheets to give a unique touch to our work of art. After the experience, we can take our Torito home as a very special souvenir of our stay in Peru.
- Private | Half Day City tour Cusco on foot.
This charming half-day walking tour of Cusco offers history, culture and art. The Main Square is a must, where we will see the colonial architecture that remains intact to this day, but its history is much older since it used as foundations the walls of Inca enclosures. Also located in the square is the Cathedral, the most important temple in the city. It was built by the Spanish on top of the palace of the Inca Huiracoha. Its interior houses a wonderful collection of colonial art composed of goldsmith pieces and representative canvases of the Cusco School. Within walking distance is the Koricancha, which during the Tahuantinsuyo was a center of worship to the Sun and on which later the convent of Santo Domingo was built as part of the evangelization process. Its baroque facade built on the solid Inca walls perfectly summarizes the syncretism of cultures in Cusco. The route will take us uphill through beautiful narrow streets to San Blas, the city's bohemian neighborhood par excellence, known for being home to local artists' craft workshops. It's the perfect place to shop and take something special of this magical city with us!

Accompanied by a guide, we will explore its ten rooms organized by materials (Wood, Shells, Silver, and Gold), regions (South, North, and Central), and chronology (The Origins, Before the Incas, and The Incas). Additionally, the exhibition is accompanied by commentary from renowned artists like the Peruvian painter Fernando de Szyszlo (1925-2017), who reflect on the influence of these expressions in Peruvian culture. Throughout the tour, we will see objects that allow us to understand not only the artistic expressions of Peru's ancient inhabitants but also their customs, activities, worldview, resources, and even their funerals.
