Go beyond the tourist plate and decode the "Why" behind the world’s #1 food destination. This isn't just a food tour; it’s a curated journey through Peru’s culinary DNA. Led by an expert Sherpa, we bridge the gap between Lima’s raw energy and its sophisticated modern mastery.
We start in the heart of the iconic Surquillo Market with an exotic fruit and ingredient tastings, the rare biodiversity of the Andes and the Amazon. From there, we navigate the fascinating urban transition into Miraflores, tracing how ancestral traditions transformed into a global phenomenon.
You won’t just eat; you’ll experience the full evolution of flavor. From the electric freshness of market-style Ceviche and Pisco to the soulful depth of Criollo heritage, culminating in a signature deep-dive into a top-tier local favorite.

5.00Thank you William for a beautiful tour of Lima. Peru is the epicenter of latam gastronomy. It’s so much the product they have to offer that it’s hard to know where to start or not stay on the surface. For that reason I decided to take this food tour. It was the best way to enjoy an unparalleled culinary identity. Through each stop we taste typical foods, from fish, fruits and even Amazonian food. Being on foot allowed us to know the central area of Lima and also make space between stop and stop. We were a small group of 6 people so it was easy to become friends and get to know each other as we were from all different countries. An amazing way to travel!
An enriching and discovery experience
