Your Travel Experience with Bamba
Be ready at your hotel lobby; the van will pick you up from there to have a feast.
Your day begins with a scenic transfer to Urubamba, where Katherine, Isabela, and perhaps a visiting artist or healer greet you as an honored friend. The garden, rimmed by mountains and filled with flowers and alpacas, is your sanctuary for the day.
Roll up your sleeves! Join your hosts in marinating chicken, selecting native potatoes, and wrapping everything in fragrant local herbs. You’ll layer the meal atop blazing stones in an ancient earthen oven—then seal it under the earth, connecting physically and spiritually with centuries-old rituals.
As the flavors meld underground, time shifts. Sip coca tea in a circle of new companions by an altar or fire. Join Doña Brígida for a weaving session, crafting a colorful Andean bracelet while trading stories and learning simple Quechua phrases. The morning is filled with laughter and deep moments, surrounded by mountain stillness.
Pay tribute to Pachamama, the Earth Mother, in a simple ceremony—offering thanks for the bounty about to nourish you.
Follow the irresistible aromas back to the oven. Together, uncover the steaming bundles—the grand reveal is always a moment of joy and hungry applause.
Settle at a rustic wooden table or on blankets beneath a canopy of sky. Share a soulful, multi-course meal—a true taste of Peru’s heart, cooked with fire and love. There’s no rush: savor every bite, every story, and every note of birdsong drifting through the air.
As the sun begins to dip behind the towering Andean peaks, you say goodbye to your hosts and newfound friends. The scent of earth and wild herbs lingers on your hands, and a handmade bracelet reminds you of this special day. With a heart full of stories, you return to your journey—feeling grounded, uplifted, and forever connected to the spirit of the Sacred Valley. The Pachamanca Experience is more than a memory; it’s a piece of Peru you’ll carry with you, wherever you roam.
