After hotel pickup in Lima, sink into your seat in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan as you venture to a typical Peruvian market. Marvel at the diverse and delicious produce on offer and browse stalls bursting with locally sourced exotic ingredients.
Next, travel to a rustic local restaurant to begin your epicurean education; watch as an experienced chef prepares Peru’s national dish of ceviche, combined chunks of raw fish with fiery chilies, aromatic coriander and zesty lime juice.
While the sumptuous ceviche marinates, try your hand at mixing Peru’s national cocktail. Gain insight into the cultural significance of the drink, learning about how Peru dedicates a national holiday to the beverage. Mix a delicious grape brandy with lemon juice, egg whites, sugar syrup, and Angostura bitters then pleasure your palate with the sweet taste of a pisco sour.
After enriching your knowledge of local cuisine, sit down to enjoy an authentic Peruvian lunch inspired by regional recipes. Return to your Lima hotel when the tour concludes.
