Accompanied by your private expert, you will engage with local purveyors and enjoy a curated tasting of exotic Peruvian superfoods, such as the velvety Lúcuma and the vibrant Aguaymanto (Golden Berry). This immersive experience culminates in an exclusive Live Ceviche Tasting—prepared right before your eyes using the morning’s freshest catch.

Huaca Pucllana

Huaca Pucllana: Pre-Columbian Majesty & Avant-Garde Gastronomy The journey continues into the heart of Miraflores, where a majestic 1,500-year-old pyramid from the Lima Culture stands as a silent witness to history: the Huaca Pucllana. Your experience begins with an exclusive exploration of this sacred site. Guided by our specialist, you will unlock the secrets of the pre-Incan civilization that built this monument, gaining a profound understanding of its architectural and spiritual significance. The afternoon reaches its peak with a gourmet lunch at the world-renowned Huaca Pucllana Restaurant. Dining with direct, breathtaking views of the ancient ruins, you will savor exquisite avant-garde Peruvian cuisine. To complete this 5-star immersion, your guide will provide a bespoke presentation on the historical origins of the ingredients on your plate, seamlessly bridging the gap between the ancient temple before your eyes and the modern culinary masterpiece you are enjoying.
