We kick off the tour with a convenient pick-up from your hotel, whisking you straight into the lively atmosphere of a local market. Here, you'll be surrounded by colorful stalls with fresh produce, exotic fruits, and traditional ingredients. Our friendly guide will walk you through the essentials of Peruvian cuisine, sharing interesting tidbits about the cultural significance of these ingredients.
Next up is a visit to a traditional cevicherĂa. Get ready to savor the tangy, fresh flavors of Peru's iconic dish, ceviche. Made from the freshest fish marinated in zesty lime juice with a hint of chili, it's a taste sensation you won't forget. Our guide will also share the fascinating history and preparation secrets of this beloved dish.
From there, we'll take you to a popular local spot to sample some classic Peruvian street food. Indulge in delicious anticuchos, perfectly grilled skewers of marinated meat, and the creamy, spicy delight of papa a la huancaĂna, boiled potatoes topped with a unique cheese sauce.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, we'll head to a cozy café where you'll try picarones, scrumptious doughnuts made from sweet potato and squash, fried to golden perfection and drizzled with syrup. Wash it down with a cup of Peru's famous coffee or a refreshing chicha morada, a sweet drink made from purple corn.
We round off the tour with a visit to a modern Peruvian restaurant for a tasting menu that highlights the innovative fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors. Each dish is a testament to Lima's dynamic and diverse food scene.
Throughout the tour, our guide will share stories and insights about the history, culture, and evolution of Peruvian cuisine, making each bite even more meaningful. You'll leave not just with a full stomach, but with a deeper appreciation for the culinary traditions that make Lima a food lover's paradise.
