Highlights

This is an anthropological journey beyond the polished, Netflix-style image of Lima’s street food scene. We offer a different perspective from the fine-dining world of renowned restaurants like Central and Maido. We’ll explore noisy and crowdy streets, markets and hole-in-the-wall spots around Central Market and Chinatown in order to try amazing Peruvian delicacies. Every stop is carefully selected for quality, flavor, context and character by local experts. Each experience may include more than one bite, dish or drink, because some Peruvian combinations simply belong together. 1. Choclo con Queso 2. Papa Rellena 3. Ceviche (Hole-in-the-Wall) 4. Carapulcra + Sopa Seca + Chicha Morada 5. Ceviche (street) 6. Siu Mae + China Town Stories 7. Central Market Experience 8. Picarones (Top Rated dessert) 9. Seasonal Exotic Fruits --- 10. Pisco Sour (optional) --- Just show up hungry and curious! Less rushing. More tasting. More stories.

About Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on clifftops above the Pacific, is a city of colonial plazas, pre-Inca ruins and an exciting, celebrated food scene.

The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revolves around the Plaza Mayor, with the cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop's Palace with its carved wooden balconies. The Monastery of San Francisco hides catacombs beneath its yellow church, and the colonial mansions around it recall the riches of the viceroyalty.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
