点评:Absolutely fantastic, highlight of our trip. We did a private tour with Valentin's Pachamama tours which included Pisac ruins, Parque de la papa, and a visit to an alpaca zoo. I highly recommend that company and our guide Hernesto and driver Kenny. Hernesto said he had done Parque de la papa tours before where you visit just the community areas of the village, but we got one of the first visits where we were welcomed into the private home of Anceto with his wife, mother in law, and son. They dressed us in traditional handmade clothing, gave us a delicious meal that we helped to prepare with hot rocks and coals in the ground, got a really great lesson on potato cultivation from Anceto, milked their cow named Juanita, and then got to feast on the most delicious food from their homestead. Anceto wants to continue pursuing education in genetics, while already being essentially an accomplished potato scientist, with he and his wife personally delivering several varieties of potato seed to the Svalbard Seed Vault. Just so humbling to be invited in the home of someone who leads such an unpretentious communal life while leading his village and making more of an impact on the world than I ever will. After the lesson and the milking, we feasted on farm to table local organic potatoes, fava beans, tamales, chicken, and plantain, all cooked in an earthen pit, accompanied by chicha morada and vegetables from their garden. Food was delicious, some of the best potatoes I have ever had, creamy and yellow, unlike anything in the states. Just an amazing experience, worth every penny. $370USD for 2 people being driven around for ~10hrs and given english-speaking tours and translations, while learning about the local communities, worth every penny. I do not know the rates of other tour companies. If you like eco-tourism at all, you have to do it. If you have to choose between Machu Picchu and this, choose this.
翻译:太棒了,这是我们旅行的亮点。我们参加了 Valentin 的 Pachamama 旅游公司的私人旅行,其中包括皮萨克遗址、Parque de la papa 和羊驼动物园。我强烈推荐这家公司以及我们的导游 Hernesto 和司机 Kenny。Hernesto 说他以前参加过 Parque de la papa 旅游,只参观村庄的社区区域,但我们是第一次参加,我们受到了 Anceto 的妻子、岳母和儿子的热情欢迎,他们为我们穿上了传统的手工服装,为我们提供了美味的饭菜,我们帮助用地里的热石头和煤块准备饭菜,从 Anceto 那里学到了关于土豆种植的非常棒的课程,给他们的奶牛 Juanita 挤奶,然后享用了他们家最美味的食物。Anceto 希望继续攻读遗传学,同时已经是一位成就卓著的土豆科学家,他和他的妻子亲自将几种土豆种子送到了斯瓦尔巴种子库。能受邀到如此朴实无华的社区生活、领导村庄并对世界产生比我更大的影响的人家中做客,我感到十分荣幸。上完课和挤完奶后,我们享用了从农场到餐桌的当地有机土豆、蚕豆、玉米粉蒸肉、鸡肉和大蕉,所有这些都是在土坑里烹制的,还搭配了奇恰酱和自家菜园里的蔬菜。食物很美味,是我吃过的最好的土豆,奶油色和黄色,与美国的任何土豆都不一样。这是一次很棒的体验,物有所值。2 人花费 370 美元,开车游览约 10 小时,提供英语导游和翻译,同时了解当地社区,物有所值。我不知道其他旅游公司的价格。如果你喜欢生态旅游,你必须去看看。如果你必须在马丘比丘和这里之间做出选择,那就选这里吧。
