The city
of Oruro has an important quantity of restaurants
that offer, mainly, pottages of the region. The chance to taste
international food is not really big, but to tell the truth, you
surely will enjoy the local gastronomy.
Two of the
traditional dishes of the city of the carnival are the rostro
asado (oven baked lamb head) and the mechado (lamb leg stuffed
with vegetables cooked on a grill). It is also recommendable to
taste the different pottages made of fish (like pejerrey).
As in every
city of the highlands, it is recommendable to avoid eating fats
and heavy foods in the first days, since the digestion is slower
in the height. Following this simple advise, you will be able
to enjoy all the flavor of the gastronomic menu of Oruro.
