In the narrow and colonial streets of Potosi there is an interesting variety of restaurants that mainly offer typical pottages; on the other hand, they are only very few specialized on international food. So keep this in mind and get ready for the fascinating experience of feeling the aromas and try the flavors of the land of the silver.

When speaking of typical food, one must mention the cazuela, a soup made with peanuts and served with potatoes, meat, fish, rice or noodles; the ají de pataskha, made with peeled corn and pepper and served with pork meat; and the chambergos, flour rolls decorated with milled sugar.

It is recommendable not to ingest heavy foods during the first days of your stay, because the digestion is slower in the cities located at several thousands meters over the level of the sea. After getting acclimated to the rigors of the Andes, you will be able to fully enjoy the gastronomic delights of Potosi.
