Pukari Wasi

Top choice in Bolivia


An absolutely charming family-run spot only a block from the southeast corner of the town plaza with a central patio lined with potted plants and flowering trees. Almuerzos (B$35) come with cazuela da maní (peanut soup, cooked with onions, potatoes and vegetables), seasonal fruit and a chicken or meat dish.

Tables are reserved in advance by groups, so get there early for lunch on market days.
