Pure! Ecuador, a leading DMC in Ecuador and part of Pure! Travel Group, is always on the lookout for experiences that take incentive trips to the next level. One of these unique activities is Pachamanka which allows your group the opportunity to experience an Inca ritual and prepare a healthy, traditional meal together.
Pachamanka rituals had a ceremonial meaning for the Incas and were performed during weddings, equinoxes, welcome events and other important celebrations. During the ritual, the group puts vegetables, (sweet) potatoes, corn and meat into a hole in the ground covered with clean hot lava stones, after which the hole is closed. The participants offer a flower to Mother Earth and give thanks or share what they wish for in life. A little later, a tasty and 100% natural meal is ready to be enjoyed together.
Our Pachamanka experience takes about 3 hours and can be combined with other cultural and nature activities on a day trip from Quito. Please contact the team at Pure! Ecuador for more information on incentive travel in our diverse South American country.
