Upon arrival to Lima, we will meet you at the airport and transfer to your hotel in Miraflores.

Depending on the time of your flight, you will have time to settle in and maybe explore the area a bit surrounding your hotel. 

Then, in the midafternoon, around 3 or 4pm, your guide will meet you back at your hotel to start a walking tour of the Miraflores area. Get to know more about the local sights, including the famous Parque Kennedy, before heading down to the malecón – a coastal walkway – where you can walk along the coast to enjoy views of the sea and the famous Parque de Amor. 

We will end up at the open-air mall, called Larcomar. If desired, you can have dinner here (not included), or head back to your hotel to have dinner somewhere closer to home. 

Meals: None

Included: Private airport transfer; private English-speaking guide

Accommodations: Tierra Viva Miraflores (Lima)

Choose between two exciting options: Explore a local market and taste a variety of exotic Peruvian fruits while uncovering the secrets of traditional Peruvian cuisine, or stroll through the bohemian Barranco district, soaking in vibrant murals and colonial architecture with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, followed by a hands-on cooking class with delicious Peruvian dishes. Both options offer a dreamlike culinary experience in beautiful Lima!

Option A: Cooking Class with Local Market Tour

We will start the morning by visiting a local market that offers an impressive variety of products originating from Peru. During the market tour, we will sample fruits and other products while learning about the culture, geography, and history of Peru through its ingredients. This market showcases the incredible biodiversity of the country, which is proud to produce unique superfoods from the jungle, the Andes, and coastal valleys. You will discover how these products have influenced Peruvian cuisine and traditions. 

Option B: Barranco Neighbourhood Tour + Cooking Class

Alternatively, explore Barranco, Lima’s artsy bohemian district, on a stroll through vibrant streets adorned with murals and colonial architecture while enjoying stunning ocean views. Cross the iconic Bridge of Sighs, steeped in romantic tales, and discover local art galleries and craft shops. 

After the stroll or market tour, we will head to a seaside restaurant for the cooking class where you will learn cooking techniques with the help of our chef. 

The class will begin with the delicious starter dish, causa limeña, a traditional dish made of mashed yellow potatoes with yellow chili and chicken*. Then, we will prepare Peru’s flagship dish, ceviche, made with the day’s catch, red onion, and chilies, served with sweet potato and corn, accompanied by purple corn drink (chicha morada). 

You will also learn how to make Peru’s national drink, the Pisco Sour!

After enjoying the fruits of our labour, we head back to your hotel where you will have the rest of the day free to explore on your own.

Meals: Breakfast, snacks (at the market), lunch (as prepared in the class)
