The well known and diverse peruvian gastronomy has its origins as a result of melding ancestral local dishes with many other foreign styles such French, Italian, Japanesse and Chinesse whom made it to the country during the XVIII and XIX Century.
The country’s geography allowed the creation of such variety according to people’s needs and available products in the surroundings. Every natural Region: Rainforest, Andes and Coast have a peculiar and large variety of dishes.
Its constant evolution reached the highest in the past decade when many organic, natural and highly nutritious products used for over 10 centuries in the area, captured Nutritionists and Cheff’s attention worldwide, such the extensive varieties of tubercles, maca, sacha inchi and quinua, within many other.

Professor Hiran Bingham, appointed as a lecturer in South American History at Yale University, is considered who rediscovered Machupicchu in 1911, he performed several excavations and studies within 1911 and 1916, finding a vast number of ceramics, bones, textiles, and other artefacts that were taken to the New Haven’s University in Connecticut. They have been evaluated and analyzed since then by specialists from the University’s Archaeology Department.
The Peruvian Government, and their president Mr Alan Garcia, negotiated the remand of all archaeological artefacts in 2011, in time for the 100 year anniversary of the scientific discovery of Machupicchu. Yale finally agreed and planned to give everything back in 3 parts to the Cusco’s well known colonial building Casa Concha.
The first part arrived in April 2011, consisted in 366 complete pieces and 1000 fragments. The second part arrived in December 2011 that consisted in 26 boxes with 77 complete skeletons, and the third part made it home in 2012, with 127 boxes full of artefacts.
All pieces are being properly displayed to public at the Machupicchu Museum-Casa Concha in Cusco city. They all are being deeply researched and analyzed by the Social Science Faculty at San Antonio Abad del Cusco University, coordinating with Yale University, represented in Cusco by Dr. Richard Burger.
Great opportunity to know and understand more about this human made marvelous, Machupicchu, that still hides several mysteries. The Machupicchu Museum-Casa Concha is located in Santa Catalina Street in Cusco city, doors open at 09:00 to 17:00 from Monday through Friday, and from 09:00 through 12:00 on Saturdays.

Son una especie domesticada de mamíferos de la familia Camelidae, de la misma genética de la que derivan los camellos, llamas y vicuñas. Son originarios de los Andes, sobreviviendo a alturas superiores a los 3500 metros sobre el nivel del mar y menores a los 5000 en las punas y mesetas de las montañas del sur de Ecuador, los Andes peruanos, el noreste chileno, el oeste boliviano y el noroeste argentino.
Las alpacas han sido domesticadas hace miles de años por Sociedades Pre Inca en su necesidad de satisfacer abrigo y alimento obtenido de este animal. En la actualidad son cotizados por su lana, fibra considerada altamente fina cuyo diámetro varía entre los 12 y 30 micrómetros de gran variedad de colores: gris, marrón, blanco, beige, negro y crema; y su carne baja en calorías; las alpacas tienen un peso estándar de 65 kg y una altura promedio de 1 m, no considerados como animales de carga.
Existen 2 razas de alpacas principalmente diferenciadas por la calidad externa de su fibra. La alpaca Huacaya desarrolla su lana perpendicularmente a su cuerpo, densa, suave y de aspecto esponjoso, de mechas cortas. La alpaca Suri desarrolla su fibra paralelamente al cuerpo del animal, formando rulos a como las hebras características de los tejidos alto andinos, su lana es densa, suave y de aspecto sedoso.
La mayor población de alpacas en el mundo se encuentra en el Perú con un 87%, y Bolivia con 9%. La alpaca es parte del Escudo Nacional del país boliviano, a diferencia del peruano, en la que la vicuña es protagonista junto al árbol de la Quina y el cornucopia, símbolo de riqueza mineral.
Descubra la oportunidad de interactuar con estos bellos animales, aprender más sobre ellos y su uso actual, así como de encontrar los productos peruanos a base de alpaca durante su estadía en Cusco y en Puno, la tierra de las alpacas.
