Ajiaco Bogotano

Pretty good recipe. It would be better if some substitute potatoes were listed that can be found in the US or other countries.
Guascas are not cilantro. You can find dried guascas in many stores in parts of the US where Colombians live in numbers, NY, NJ, Miami, Orlando, Chicago etc.
Guascas also grows wild in much of the US, look for an invasive weed called Gallant Soldier - Galinsoga parviflora.

Just for those who believe that Guascas is Cilantro, please do not even consider that option. A guasca leave is a very particular leave only found in certain regions of the Andes and cilantro is a herb found just about everywhere.
Thanks.

Guasca is cilantro

I suggest no to add cilantro because it will tend to mask the guasca's particular flavor, which is the real ajiaco component.
Your recipe otherwise is flawless.
