Mil Experience

Appreciation through Understanding. Understanding through Experiencing. The MIL Experience is more than just a meal, but a cultural experience.

The MIL Experience is a food tour and cultural tour in one. As you dine on an 8-course meal at one of Latin America's best restaurants, you'll witness Incan history in the Moray ruins
