Located a mighty 3,600 metres above sea level close to the mysterious Moray Incan ruins in the Sacred Valley, it takes a little effort to visit the second Peruvian restaurant of Virgilio Martínez. Mil is an Andean microcosm of Lima's iconic Central. But instead of using ingredients from across the nation, it strictly sources from the ecosystem surrounding the restaurant. Anthropologists on staff foster relations with tight-knit Indigenous communities and together they plant, nurture and harvest sustainable tuber crops, maize, legumes, cacao and Andean herbs, as well as care for a small on-site orchard. It all comes together in head chef Luis Valderrama's innovative eight-course tasting menu (a fantastic vegetarian option is available). Those making the trip to Mil can book an immersion package, which includes a visit to the surrounding environment to experience local life as well as a tour of the Mater research centre, and cacao and distillation labs.
