Visit a Mapuche Huilliche family-run enterprise in Purranque. Explore quinoa cultivation, harvesting, and post-harvest processes, followed by a lunch prepared with ingredients from the garden and ancestral recipes.
On the outskirts of Purranque, a family has been growing Mapuche quinoa for years and preserving the recipes passed down by their ancestors.
La jornada comienza con una bienvenida donde conoces la historia del lugar y el significado de la quinoa como cereal identitario de este territorio.
Then you head out into the fields. You walk through the crop, learn about the harvest and post-harvest process, and discover how this grain, once close to being forgotten, remains alive thanks to those who chose not to abandon it.
When you return, Juana welcomes you with a lunch prepared using ingredients from the garden and ancestral Mapuche Huilliche recipes.
Behind every dish is a choice to preserve—to keep this knowledge from being lost.
