About this activity

Begin your journey in the vibrant Surquillo Market, where you'll sample exotic fruits and uncover the cultural significance of Peru's essential and unique ingredients. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories as you explore bustling stalls filled with fresh produce and local delicacies, offering a true taste of Peru’s culinary heart.

After the market, head to a nearby restaurant for a hands-on cooking class led by a talented local chef. Here, you'll learn to prepare three iconic Peruvian dishes: ceviche, a refreshing combination of fresh fish, citrus juice, and spices; causa rellena, a layered dish of mashed potatoes, avocado, and a savory filling; and the classic pisco sour, a perfectly frothy cocktail made with pisco, lime, and egg white.

As you cook, you'll gain practical skills, cooking techniques, and a deeper appreciation of Peru's rich gastronomic traditions.

To round off this memorable experience, indulge in a traditional Peruvian dessert.
