Gourmet cuisine
An integral part of the cultural experience is regional cookery and its nouvelle interpretations. Every day, savor gourmet cuisine by the great chefs of South America. All meals and any needed transportation are included. Dinner is at 8 pm, unless you request otherwise at the time of booking your tour.
Details vary by country. In Peru, Ecuador and Chile, order à la carte from each restaurant's complete menu, including unlimited beverages sold by the individual serving. In other countries, choose an appetizer, entree, dessert and beverages from the table d'hôte menu. If you find table d'hôte menus too limiting, we will reduce the tour price by $50 per meal. You will order à la carte and pay the restaurant directly. If you prefer this option, kindly request it at the time of booking your tour.
Bottled water
In the Andes, drinking plenty of water is recommended to alleviate altitude sickness. We provide a bottle of water with your morning excursion, lunch and your afternoon excursion.
Breakfast
A buffet or American breakfast is served in your hotel each morning.
Lunch
A gourmet lunch of traditional or nouvelle Andean cuisine including beverages is provided each afternoon. Your guide will join you unless you request otherwise when booking your tour.

Sacred Valley: On the first day, a lunch by chef Ricardo Behar at 3 Keros.
