Lima Food Tour in Barranco

We will meet at our meeting point to begin this food adventure in the bohemian district of Barranco, with a panoramic walking tour around San Francisco Square. We will continue the excursion to taste an exquisite Peruvian coffee, and then, we are going to taste two types of traditional empanadas. One is filled with “aji de gallina”, a creamy Peruvian dish made with yellow pepper and chicken. The other one is filled with hot pepper, with a special spicy flavor. Then, we will visit a gastronomic store with 100% Peruvian products, made by small sustainable and environmentally responsible companies. Also, we will taste the favorite sweet of many: chocolate. Discover the intense and good quality flavors, with these amazing handmade local products. Our next stop will be at a small art gallery of the incredible Peruvian artist Jade Rivera. Located in the heart of Barranco, we will take a panoramic walking tour to the Bridge of Sights. This picturesque wooden bridge was built in 1876, however, it has been rebuilt several times. The legend says that if you make a wish walking across the bridge holding your breath, it will come true. The next visit will be in a local restaurant to eat a Peruvian popular dish called “Ceviche”, fresh raw fish marinated with lemon juice. Also, we will eat “Causa Limena”, a traditional dish made with pressed potatoes, stuffed with avocado and tuna. Enjoy a refreshing non-alcoholic sweet drink called Chicha Morada, made with purple corn. The tour continues in another restaurant, and this time we will taste “Lomo Saltado”, made with sautéed beef tenderloin with onion and tomatoes, accompanied by rice and French fries. We cannot miss drinking a refreshing national soda known as Inka Kola. Later, we will visit one of the most traditional bars in the city, to taste a Peruvian cocktail “Pisco Sour”, made with Pisco brandy, lime juice, egg white and sugar syrup. We cannot leave out the desserts, so to finish the tour, we will visit a local ice cream shop, to taste creamy artisan ice cream with Peruvian flavors.
