Tour Details

At the appointed time, we'll meet in a central location in Lima to begin a free tour of Lima that will take us to explore the most popular markets of the Peruvian capital. It's time to enjoy the exquisite street food of the city!

Firstly, we'll head to the central market. Here we'll see what life is like for the locals and discover what the most representative products of Peru are. We'll also have the opportunity to interact with the vendors to learn all about the basic ingredients of Peruvian cuisine.

Afterward, we'll head to Lima's Chinatown. Why is this corner of Peru's cuisine so important? We'll go back to the 19th century to learn about the origins of the Chinese settlement in the city and discover their connection to the kitchen. Of course, at the places we visit, you’ll be able to try different local specialties, both sweet and savory. Everything will be delicious!

Also, on this free tour, we'll reveal the secrets of Chifa food by tasting some of the most famous dishes of this type of cuisine, while learning the history and tradition behind these unique culinary creations.

The free tour will end 2.5 hours later.
