Highlights
  • Peru Bergsport Hostel - The tour starts at different times depending on if you have booked it for lunch or dinner and this tour is programmed for approximately from 6 to 8 hours. 

When you Reserve for Lunch, we mostly organize the experience in Huaraz sorrounding families houses. It will take us from 10 to 20 minutes with public minivans transfers to get there. Families welcome us in their typical houses introducing us to their culture.

When you reserve for dinner, we organize it closer to downtown only at surroundings of around 1km radius with easy access. Some could be just walking distance or some could be with taxi transfer.

This special dish of Cuy is prepared traditionally, with the same style of Andean people or Huaraz people. This is definitely a 100% different of how restaurants prepare this dish!
