Huayra Huasi

We were here Sunday lunchtime when the restaurant is frequented by local people who eat there after they have been to church. Local produce, quite simple, but the most delicious home made empanadas we tasted anywhere - and the loveliest welcome.

On a trip to the Viaduct with Tren alas Nubes you have to stop for a lunch. So we have chosen this place out of 4 or 5 dining places. The beef stew, the lama stew are not acceptable as stews. We just tried guiso- some kind of stew with meat and lentils which sounds more tasty than the others- it was the meal of a friend on the table. Not having time to order a second meal - you have to catch a bus with the group. Anyway this is an experience in a very small place high there in the Andes at an altitude of 3775 metres.
