Description

Good to Know

Not just a tasting, a fruit safari indoors. While most travelers only glimpse these fruits in busy markets, here you enjoy them in a relaxed setting, guided by a Peruvian guide who knows every flavor note and cultural secret. You’ll taste Andean and Amazonian treasures that rarely leave Peru, creamy cherimoya, golden aguaymanto, tangy tumbo, and more. Each is served in different forms: sliced, juiced, or as a mousse, showing their versatility from snack to gourmet dessert. This isn’t only delicious, it’s insider knowledge. Learn how locals choose the ripest fruit, the traditions tied to each variety, and the surprising health benefits behind their popularity. Don’t just see Peru, taste its hidden wonders, one juicy bite at a time. And if your experience isn’t five stars, we’ll refund your money.

Bite into the soul of Peru through its fruits. Beyond ceviche and pisco, Peru hides a world of flavors most visitors never get to taste. This guided tasting is your backstage pass to the Andes and Amazon, a journey through the exotic side of both regions. From velvety lúcuma with its maple-vanilla sweetness to zesty camu camu shots packed with vitamin C, every bite tells a story of Peru’s landscapes and traditions. Guided by a fruit specialist, you’ll explore unique varieties, tasting them in ways that highlight their textures, aromas, and hidden stories. Some are creamy, others tart and sparkling, each unforgettable. You’ll discover why locals treasure these fruits, how they shape traditions, and the secrets that make them part of Peru’s cultural identity. Groups are kept small so every guest can savor fully, ask questions, and connect over each discovery. Past travelers have called this tasting “the most surprising highlight of Lima.” A rare chance to taste Peru like nowhere else. Spots are limited, reserve today and let Peru’s hidden fruits surprise you.
