Where to have breakfast before a tour in Huaraz: start the day with the energy you need.

Tours to Laguna 69, Laguna Llanganuco, Chavín de Huántar or Pastoruri usually leave Huaraz very early. A good breakfast before heading up the mountain makes the difference between arriving full of energy or feeling tired halfway through.

Breakfast at Kay Pacha before heading out on a tour in Huaraz.

If your excursion leaves at dawn, you're probably wondering where to have breakfast before a tour in Huaraz. In this guide we cover what to look for in a breakfast before gaining altitude, what quick options are available, and why Kay Pacha is a great stop before starting the adventure.

Why is a good breakfast key before a tour?

Most excursions in Ancash involve several hours of walking and significant altitude gain. Leaving on an empty stomach can cause early fatigue, headaches and lower resistance to altitude sickness. A complete breakfast, with carbohydrates, protein and proper hydration, helps the body perform better throughout the trip.

Breakfast hours

Since most tours depart between 5:00 and 7:00 a.m., having a place that opens early is essential. At Kay Pacha we're open from early morning so you can have a relaxed breakfast before your transport or tour agency picks you up.

Quick options for those short on time

We know time is limited before a tour. That's why we offer options that are served fast without sacrificing quality or flavor:

  • Chicharrón sandwich, ready to go or to enjoy on the spot.
  • Sweet and savory humitas.
  • Fresh juices and freshly brewed coffee.
  • Breakfast combos with short wait times.

Recommended energy-boosting dishes

If you prefer to sit down and take your time before heading out, these are the dishes our visitors choose most to power through the day:

  • Chicharrón sandwich with sweet potato.
  • Eggs your way with Andean bread.
  • Hot oatmeal or quinoa with fruit.
  • Coffee, coca tea or hot chocolate.
