About this experience
You will meet Julio Hancco known to be The Potato King. Peru was the birthplace of potatoes. You can find over 3,000 varieties of native tubers. Julio has dedicated his life to preserving over 350 varieties. With him you will learn the amazing work that goes behind a delicious native potato chip. On the way to Julio's house we will stop in the archaeological site of Ancasmarca and discover how the tale of that place resembles the Noah's Ark story. Since this experience takes you off the grid -there is no internet connection nor phone signal in the community we will visit- we'll need extra time to arrange it so please book at least seven days in advance. This experience is great for curious and adventurer travelers.
