Food glorious food

The food here is fantastic – more nouvelle cuisine than anything else. Breakfast is usually juice, freshly baked breads, scrambled eggs, tea. For lunch or dinner we will often choose the menu touristica – any thing from 10 – 20 soles ( 10 = about $A3.80).


Of course Guinnea Pig is a favoured delicacy - haven't tried it yet but the alapaca was delicioso! We have also discovered Munya... basically a fine leafed mint which is soaked in boiling water. Great for those tummy upsets that we don't seem to be immune to. Also cocos leaves which help with altitude sickness - yes at 14,000 ft we get that too!
