/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "chah" (as in "chat") + "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "kah" (as in "car")/
An ancient Andean underground cooking technique where meats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other tubers are slow-cooked on hot stones in a pit dug into the ground. Pre-Hispanic in origin and deeply associated with community celebrations in Peru and Bolivia. The result is smoky, tender, and completely unlike anything cooked above ground.
“They made a pachamanca in the field to celebrate grandfather's birthday.”
“The pachamanca came out perfectly, everything slow-cooked evenly with the hot stones.”

Tráfico
Traffic congestion that paralyzes streets and eats up hours of your day. In Latin American megacities like Bogota, Mexico City, or Lima, tráfico is legendary: what looks like 20 minutes on a map can easily become two hours of sitting still.
