Your journey begins with a guided tour of a bustling local market, where you’ll experience the lively atmosphere and vibrant colors of Peru’s freshest produce. Your chef will introduce you to exotic fruits, native herbs, and unique Andean and Amazonian ingredients. Enjoy tastings of local specialties and learn how these ingredients are the foundation of Peruvian cuisine.

Next, head to a professional or home-based kitchen, where you’ll roll up your sleeves and start cooking. Under the expert guidance of a local chef, you’ll learn how to prepare two or three traditional dishes, such as:

  • Ceviche: Fresh fish cured in lime juice, mixed with red onions, cilantro, and a touch of Peruvian chili.
  • Lomo Saltado: A flavorful stir-fry of beef, onions, tomatoes, and Peruvian spices, served with crispy fries and rice.
