Chicha is a traditional fermented drink of the indigenous people of the Andes and Latin America, dating back to the Inca Empire. Prepared mainly with corn, but also with other cereals, such as quinoa, peanuts and cassava, chicha has several regional variations. The most common version, called chicha de jora, was used ritualistically by the Incas. The term "chicha" has debated origins, and may come from Taíno or Kuna, meaning "corn". Chicherias, places where the drink was consumed, were often illegal family establishments. Chicha is served in specific containers, such as caporal or qero, with different traditions in different regions.
