Bernado's family at the Pachamanca

Bernado and his family hosted a Pachamanca at their house. The Pachamanca (Pacha = earth; manca = oven) is a dish handed down from the Peruvian ancestors as an offering to mother earth. It includes a variety of meats (beef, chicken, mutton) and vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, ocas). The food is cooked in an oven excavated in the earth, and filled with heated rocks.
