Dining<br />
Peruvian cuisine is all about big, bold flavours that reflect<br />
the country’s diverse regions and population. The foreign<br />
influences found in popular dishes reach all the way back<br />
to the Spanish conquest in the 16th Century. Particularly<br />
noticeable are dishes like Empanadas, a type of pie or<br />
pasty typically filled with beef and vegetables, or Aji de<br />
Gallina, a comforting chicken stew introduced by homesick<br />
Spanish conquistadors. And don’t forget that Peru boasts<br />
an incredible 4,000 different varieties of potato. From jet<br />
black to blushing pink, they’re<br />
culturally significant as well<br />
as delicious.<br />
Accommodation<br />
There are plenty of jaw-dropping places in Peru to hang<br />
your Chullo, that recognisable Peruvian woolly hat with<br />
the ear flaps, but one of the most unique is found in<br />
the Sacred Valley. The Skylodge Adventure Suites are<br />
transparent pods suspended 400 metres above the<br />
ground with arguably the best view you could ever wake<br />
up to. Reached by a climb up a vertical cliff face, they’re<br />
not for the faint of heart.<br />
For something a little more traditional, there’s the<br />
opportunity for a homestay experience like no other on<br />
the wide and majestic Lake Titicaca. Amantaní Island is<br />
home to an authentic cultural experience where you<br />
can meet the locals and stay with them to discover<br />
their traditional lifestyle that hasn’t changed in<br />
centuries.<br />
