Our culture is an exquisite fusion of Andean, Amazonian, Spanish, African, Asian, and more cultures. The result? Our fascinating dishes that taste like happiness. You may have heard about Machu Picchu (an unmissable destination), but what about Lima, the capital of Peru? Discover everything the City of Kings has to offer for you! We will explore this city through its aromas and flavors. Embark with us on an unforgettable culinary adventure in Lima! Sample the finest flavors of Peruvian cuisine and immerse yourself in the city's rich history. Let the taste of Peru linger in your heart as you explore and savor every moment of this incredible journey. Important: Peruvian cuisine is a tantalizing culinary adventure, but it comes with a few considerations. The bold and spicy flavors can be overwhelming for those with low heat tolerance, so it's important to be cautious and opt for milder options if needed. Seafood lovers will delight in Peru's coastal treasures, but individuals with allergies or sensitivities should be careful and inquire about ingredients. It is advisable for individuals with dietary restrictions to carefully consider joining the trip due to the unique and potentially challenging aspects of Peruvian cuisine.
