Culinary & Peru Food Tours

Sweet corn, ceviche, and alpaca steaks — this is just a sample of the tasty food that you'll find in Peru. Gastronomy tours expose you to the culinary fabric of Peru. Each region has a unique flavor and cooking style, so the experience you have will depend on where you are. Take cooking classes in Lima and come home with a few new recipes. Wander through the produce markets in Cusco or reserve a table at the hottest restaurant in Arequipa (literally, since the food here is notoriously spicy). These tours will leave you licking your fingers and asking for more.
