Puno Nightime Street Food Experience

Join me as we explore authentic local flavors on an exclusive nighttime tour, popular among locals. We'll start our journey at the iconic Parque Pino, in the heart of Puno. First Delights: Our tasting experience begins with a traditional Puno alfajor—a dense pastry filled with sweet cane sugar syrup (chancaca). Next, we'll savor mazamorra morada, a tasty dessert made with purple corn and local spices, renowned for its unique flavor. We'll also enjoy api, a comforting, warm beverage traditional to Puno, served in both purple and white varieties and made from nutritious quinoa flour.

Street Food Specialties: Next, we'll continue exploring authentic flavors from Puno's street food scene. You'll taste deliciously crispy chunchulí—grilled beef intestines known for their crunchy texture and subtly smoky flavor. We'll also sample anticuchos, tender charcoal-grilled beef skewers, essential to Peru's nighttime culinary culture. Complementing these dishes, you'll try manás, sweet and crunchy bites of popped corn with a delicate caramel coating. Warm, Sweet Ending: We'll conclude this gastronomic journey with freshly made picarones—Peruvian donuts drizzled with traditional syrup—and a comforting emoliente, a warm herbal beverage prepared with medicinal plants, perfect for Puno's cool evenings.
