A little history ...

This well-known national drink has its origins in the times of the Conquest, when the Spanish brought wheat to the American continent and the indigenous people used it as flour or mote, which is the grain of cooked and peeled corn. 

In this way, they began to add huesillos or dried and cooked peaches, forming a caramelized juice with cinnamon, orange or cloves and from this mixture the traditional Chilean mote con huesillo was born, which is enjoyed to this day. 

Where do I find the best mote con huesillo? 

Without a doubt the best nickname with huesillo is that of San Cristobal Hill, Getting to the top and enjoying the view while you drink a refreshing mote con huesillo, is a Santiago de Chile classic. You can find it in most positions located in the Cumbre and Terraza Bellavista sector. Which you can reach by Cable Car or Panoramic Buses.
