Experience Details

This is an anthropological journey far beyond the Netflix version of Lima's street food scene. Authentic, immersive, and accessible. We offer a different perspective from the fine-dining world of Central or Maido.

We'll walk through streets and markets that may be crowded, chaotic, noisy, and even overwhelming, yet deeply real, in the non-touristy areas of Lima's historic center: Central Market, Mesa Redonda, Barrios Altos, and Chinatown.

We will try a wide variety of delicious Peruvian dishes including tasty bites, local markets, and hole-in-the-wall spots, all carefully selected by local foodie experts.

What You Get

Anticuchos, Picarones, Tamales, Seasonal Exotic Fruits

Choclo con Queso, Papa Rellena, Ceviche, Chicha Morada
