Puno's Regional Directorate of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Dircetur) projected the fair would receive over 20,000 people on its last day, including domestic and foreign tourists who would taste the most representative dishes from the High-Plateau region.
It must be noted Peru Mucho Gusto —on its first day— welcomed a large number of people who enjoyed meals —prepared with Andean products— such as the emblematic Kankacho Ayavireño (typical lamb-based-dish from Ayaviri town), Chicharron de Alpaca (alpaca cracklings), and trout in different presentations.
Besides the variety of typical dishes, the fair also features traditional dances, as well as the exhibition and sale of handicrafts made from alpaca fiber.
Peru Mucho Gusto takes place at Puno's Cuartel Manco Capac (military barrack).
