Destilería Andina

Had a lovely stay at El Albergue and also enjoyed their Pachamanca lunch + farm tour experience, which was very special.My only point of feedback is to make the Pachamanca experience longer — you only get 2.5 hours, which turned out to not be a lot of time for a cooking demonstration, tour of the distillery, tour of the coffee brewery, AND the actual lunch. So the lunch itself felt a bit rushed especially given all the food.Still would highly recommend!

We visited for the Pachamanca lunch and had an amazing experience. The farm itself is beautiful. Gabriel was our host and he expertly presided over the preparation of the meal. We got to try coffee and alcohol produced on site as well. Overall a great way to spend an afternoon. You can call the hotel or just stop by to book, but make sure you do so at least a day in advance.

Had a wonderful Pachamanca lunch. Miguel was a wonderful host. Food was fantastic even for a vegetarian. My wife enjoyed the meat. We will take home bottles from the distillery

Surpassed my expectations! Lida was extremely knowledgeable, warm, and checked in with us several times, making sure our experience was the best.She and the workers showed us the traditional style of Pachamanca cooking, had us taste the drinks and some of their coffee. Really fascinating to learn about the cooking methods and the food was so so tasty.After the tour they let us take our slow pace around to see the school and the farm.Note that Google might try to take you the long way, along the river. Only go this way if you have time otherwise just go down Santa Rosa.

El Albergue Farm - Pachamanca Experience.OVERALL: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5What a memorable experience!!! We almost did not do it. This was included last minute by our tour company and I originally thought it would be a waster for 3+ hours for lunch. Boy.. was I wrong!!We did not stay at the hotel, but just went there for the Pachamanca Experience.It is a beautiful and serene organic farm that offers food, coffee and distillery experiences (at least… these are the three that we experienced). We walk through the restaurant to the back where the farm is located. - Food - Pachamanca experience: the food (meat/vegetables) is buried in a hole in the ground under hot coals and cooks in about 15/20 minutes. It is quite a ceremony. There is a large variety of options, and they are able to accommodate special requests for any food restrictions. When the food was first brought to our table I thought that there was no way we could put a dent in it. However, it was so good that it was devoured quickly. - Distillery experience - They brew their own liquor and we were able to get customised bottles with organic herbs from their farm. Got the recipe for the cocktail that they served. Look forward to duplicating with my personal liquor. Sandro was very helpful in suggesting herbs/plants for our personalised selection. - Coffee - Learned about their coffee roasting venture. Their coffee beans are literally hand selected and then roasted in small batches. Can’t wait to try it when we get home.7-5-2023 - Group of 4

The pachamanca experience was spectacular. Ronaldo was very knowledgeable, he taught us some local history, as well as the history of the farm. The food and drinks were amazing, and you could not ask for a more beautiful setting. Highly recommend!
