Countryside restaurant in the Callejón de Huaylas: eating outdoors among the Cordillera Blanca.

After exploring Huaraz, Carhuaz, Yungay or Caraz, many travelers look for a different place for lunch: away from the city noise, with room to walk and a view of the snow-capped peaks. That's a countryside restaurant, and in Anta there's one right on the main route.

Kay Pacha countryside restaurant in the Callejón de Huaylas surrounded by green areas.

If you're looking for a countryside restaurant in the Callejón de Huaylas, Recreo Kay Pacha in Anta is a stop designed for exactly that: eating calmly in a natural setting, on the Huaraz - Caraz highway and just 5 minutes from Anta airport.

What sets a countryside restaurant apart

It's not just eating outdoors. A good countryside venue combines three things an urban restaurant can't offer:

  • Plenty of space: large tables, gardens to walk through, areas where kids can move around freely.
  • Unhurried time: families often stay for several hours, moving between the table and the green areas.
  • Landscape as part of the experience: views of the Cordillera Blanca and fresh valley air.

A strategic location on the tourist route

Anta sits right between Huaraz and Carhuaz, on the main Callejón de Huaylas road. That makes Kay Pacha a natural stop for those traveling toward Yungay, Caraz or Laguna Parón, or for those arriving and departing via the airport. Check the location and directions before your visit.

What to eat at the countryside venue

  • Fresh regional trout, in several preparations.
  • Grilled meats to share as a group, ideal for long tables.
  • Pork chicharrón, crispy guinea pig and regional Ancash dishes.
  • Traditional soups for cooler days.
  • Homemade desserts and warm drinks to close out the afternoon.

You can see the full Anta menu and, if you're coming with a large family, group or agency, coordinate your visit through reservations.

Ideal for family lunches and celebrations

The venue also works as an events venue in Anta: birthdays, work gatherings, family celebrations or tour wrap-ups in a countryside setting instead of an indoor hall.

Close out your Callejón de Huaylas trip outdoors

A countryside restaurant is the best way to end a day of sightseeing in Ancash: good food, nature and time to share. At Kay Pacha Anta we're right on the route, minutes from the airport.
