Breakfast with the first sunlight (J.Camarlinghi) We are convinced that a healthy and tasty diet makes the difference to achieve a successful trip. We have a variety of tasty meals that are highly nutritious. When it comes to food, we don’t save over the budget.

The normal daily menu includes a breakfast, a fast lunch, and dinner. Our experienced cooks can prepare national and international meals, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

Whenever possible, typical Local food is prepared using fresh ingredients and local spices. When we have to eat in restaurantes, we always chose the best food in town.

Please get into "The Staff" page to get more information about our staff in the kitchen.

Breakfast

Every morning, when camping, we have on our table: Coffee (Nescafe type), a variety of tea bags (Black tea, Coca tea, Chamomile, and Anises), cocoa, milk (powder), jelly or Marmalade, Butter, Cereal flakes and Bread.

Besides that, our cooks will surprise us every morning with something extra like: Oatmeal, Pancakes, scrambled eggs, empanadas, or Api (a typical Bolivian purple corn sweet porridge).

In hotels “Continental” breakfast is normally included.

Lunch

A “box lunch” and a snack bag is provided at midday when being away from restaurants. It will include:

A fruit from the season like: Apple, tangerine, papaya, pear, orange, banana or an Amazonian tropical fruit.
Sandwiches already prepared or the ingredients (salami, cheese, tuna fish, vegetables, etc) will be displayed on table for you to serve yourself.
A snack like: chocolate bars, candies, Brazilian nuts or raisins.

Dinner

Dinner is going to be our main meal. Served at our mess tent or at the facilities of the refuges, it will include a light vegetable soup, a main course (local, international or vegetarian dishes), a dessert and plenty of hot drinks.

Water

Plenty of potable water is provided during our trips. We normally use mineral bottled water for the first days and purified water for the next days (our cooks always use Iodine and boil the water).

Please check your itinerary and contract to find out which meals are included at the cities.

Back

Due to the limited availability of services in the remote areas we operate, most of the food for our trips is taken along. We usually use large plastic containers to carry our stuff, either on the truck, or with the help of a porter or a mule.

Setting Campsite (J.Camarlinghi) When camping, there is always a kitchen tent equipped with all the essentials. A mess tent (Walrus Armadillo) is also provided, including table, lamp, and chairs (Crazy Creek Chairs or foldable chairs according to the situation).

One of our main concerns when cooking and eating is hygiene; outside the mess tent there will always be a bowl with water and soap for hands washing. "Purel" or similar gel-alcohol will also be available on the mess table. Tableware is also washed with soap and bleach after every meal. It has taken us a long time to train our staff in this issue as hygiene is not an important issue in the local mentality.

Plastic trash bags are also available inside (and outside) the mess tent for both organic and plastic garbage. We dispose organic leftovers feeding local animals or by burying it. We take plastic rubbish back to the city.
