  • Restaurant and Bar

    At Los Yapas Holistic Center we place great importance on ensuring that only natural and healthy ingredients appear on your plates. 100% vegan, we do not use any ready-made products, instead we have fun creating new dishes every day, playing with our ingredients and spices. Your taste buds are in for an exciting journey of Andean, Amazonian, and international flavours.

    All your dishes and tropical fruit juices are prepared with love and consciousness.

    At night, stroll over to our bar and enjoy a drink. We offer natural and exotic cocktails prepared with our homemade Yapardiente (our own version of aguardiente) and freshly picked aromatic herbs.
