One of our guides, Edson, demonstrates how to drink the local Chicha. Chicha is a traditional Andean fermented corn drink made from purple corn. It's mildy alcoholic, so we didn't try it, although I hear there are non-alcoholic variations available to trekkers. Edson was a fantastic guide and all of us almost instantly took to friendship with our lead guides (Percy and Edson) throughout the trip.
