Hotel Pakaritampu Ollantaytambo

Review by hotel critic

As an avid food enthusiast and anthropologist, my stay at Hotel Pakaritampu in Ollantaytambo was a delightful culinary journey intertwined with cultural immersion. The hotel's International Menu presented a fusion of flavors, allowing me to savor both traditional Novo Andean Native dishes and international cuisine. One evening, while dining at the charming Restaurante Pizzeria Puka Sara nearby, the aroma of freshly baked pizzas and indigenous ingredients filled the air, offering a unique blend of flavors that reflected the rich agricultural heritage of the region. The warm ambiance and attentive service elevated my dining experience, making each bite a true delight. The Inca-style terraces surrounding the hotel showcased the labor of the locals, cultivating potatoes, beans, and cereals, a testament to the symbiotic relationship between the land and its people. I couldn't help but admire the dedication and skill required to nurture these crops, evident in every dish I sampled during my stay.In the heart of Ollantaytambo, amidst the main celebrations, Hotel Pakaritampu stood as a beacon of inclusivity, welcoming visitors from all walks of life to partake in the bountiful fruits of the land and the labor of its people. The proximity to renowned eateries like Charito and El Albergue Restaurant further enriched my gastronomic exploration, offering a diverse range of culinary experiences just steps away from the hotel. It was a culinary odyssey that left me both satiated and enriched, eager to return for another taste of the Andean gastronomic wonders.
