Peruvian Food Tour Through Local Markets

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Chorrillos “The Main Local Fish Market of Lima”. This is the first place we visit where you will learn about one of the main economies of Peru (fishing). Also, your local guide will show you the different tools and baits used by locals for doing that important activity. You'll see the Peruvian sea really close and know why Lima is a desert.

   20 min

2. The Surquillo district is currently becoming Lima's new gastronomic capital, and it all started with the Surquillo 2 market, thanks to its wide variety of fresh and organic produce, as well as the delicious food in its on-site restaurants! Here, we'll try the daily menu and eat like a local Limeño! We'll visit the meat, vegetable, and fruit sections, and you'll see the wide variety of products this great market offers! Afterwards, we'll try Peru's most representative dish, Ceviche. It will surely be one of the freshest dishes you'll try in the city. You can practice your Spanish here with my vendor friends.

   1 h

3. We'll visit the Surquillo 1 street market, where we'll try local fruits from different regions of the country—the desert, mountains, and jungle—which stand out for their intense, organic flavor. We'll try some small snacks and learn about their origins and how the dynamics of a market in Lima work. The vendors are proud of the products they sell and are always happy to show off the freshness of their fruits, vegetables, and meats!

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).
