Itinerary

Your experience begins with pick-up from your hotel and a short trip to the traditional Surquillo Market. There, accompanied by your culinary guide, you will explore colorful aisles filled with exotic fruits, aromatic herbs, native Andean tubers, and fresh seafood. You will interact with local vendors and learn about the origin and cultural value of each ingredient you will later use.

After this flavorful introduction, we head to a nearby professional kitchen, where a local chef will guide you step-by-step in preparing a 3-course Peruvian meal. You will start with Ceviche, the country's most famous dish, marinated in lime juice and spices. Next, you will prepare Causa Limeña, a colorful layered creation made with yellow potatoes and avocado. Finally, you will learn to craft Peru's national cocktail: the Pisco Sour.

Once cooking is done, you will sit down to enjoy the delicious lunch you prepared, paired with your Pisco Sour. To finish on a sweet note, we will enjoy a traditional Peruvian dessert before taking you back to your hotel.
