Chicheria YOLA - Museo de la chicha y Museo de la Sal : info and guided tour

Presentation of Chicheria YOLA – Museo de la chicha y Museo de la Sal

Chicheria YOLA – Museo de la chicha y Museo de la Sal is located in Urubamba, in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in an area associated with culinary traditions and Andean know-how. The venue brings together two themes linked to local customs, chicha and salt, in a single museum space.

The site highlights chicha, a traditional Andean drink, through its role in local food habits and social practices in the region. The museum approach makes it possible to place this beverage in the everyday life of Urubamba and within a living heritage that is still present in the Peruvian Andes.

The section devoted to salt recalls its historical and cultural importance in Andean societies, as well as its ties to trade, food and preservation techniques. The museum therefore offers a look at two simple yet essential products that shape part of the local memory.

Located at MVP3+PM in Urubamba 08655, the museum is set in an environment where regional identity remains strongly marked by agricultural and artisanal traditions. Chicheria YOLA combines in one place the exploration of an emblematic product such as chicha and that of a fundamental resource such as salt.
