TreXperience hosted cooking training to enhance both quality and safety standards for meals served on multi-day treks. The program focused on high-altitude cooking techniques, food-handling best practices, and smarter menu planning for the demands of the Andes.
On February 8, 2026, TreXperience’s head chefs and sous chefs gathered for the TreXperience Inca Trail Cooking Training Program. Designed to strengthen skills for high-altitude journeys aimed at improving consistency and overall meal quality on the trail., the training refreshed the team with:
- Updated gastronomic knowledge
- Food-safety standards
- Practical cuisine techniques
- High-altitude meal planning
Delivered over two days, the program combined cooking class sessions with practical training, covering mountain cooking fundamentals and multi-course meal service in remote camp settings.
Trekking Food for Every Diet
On any trekking adventure to Machu Picchu, meals are essential to keep the group moving day after day. TreXperience invests in cooking training that turns skilled cooks into mountain-ready leaders, able to adapt in changing conditions, follow strict hygiene standards, and deliver nourishing meals that respect all dietary needs.
This includes vegetarian, vegan, among other options, prepared with the same care and balance as the standard menu.
Peruvian Food on the Inca Trail
Peruvian cuisine is celebrated worldwide, and on the Inca Trail it becomes part of the experience, not just a meal between hikes. With the right planning and technique, our chefs bring local flavors to camp with balanced, satisfying dishes designed for trekking.
The result is a food experience that adds warmth, variety, and a memorable Peruvian touch to the adventure.
For trekking experience in the Andes, the small details often shape the experience as much as the views, especially on routes like the Classic Inca Trail, the Salkantay Trek and Lares Trek. Ongoing training helps strengthen our standards, turning into a smoother, more comfortable journey for our travelers.
