Machu Picchu and Chocolate

by admin on November 16, 2009

You’ll undoubtedly want to visit Machu Picchu on a trip to Peru, but now you can add another stop to your sightseeing list. The Mariott Hotel in Miraflores will be featuring an exact miniature replica of The Lost City in their lobby – made entirely of chocolate. Peruvians are proud of their national cuisine, and take both cooking and eating seriously. The chefs at The Mariott decided to celebrate one of Peru’s greatest sights this holiday season, while pushing themselves to be both creative and precise. The chocolate Machu Picchu will be on display through January 5, 2010. For a photo, visit Living in Peru. One can’t help but wonder who will get to eat this 353 pound masterpiece when the exhibit is over.
