Tour description

This isn’t just another food crawl, it’s your behind-the-scenes pass to Cusco’s local food culture.

Loved by travelers from around the world and often described as a highlight of their time in Peru, this experience blends authentic tastings with storytelling, culture, and real local connection.

Over the course of the experience, you’ll sample some of Cusco’s most memorable flavors, from traditional street bites and regional favorites to drinks and recipes that reflect the city’s Andean heritage. Each stop is chosen for its local character, with foods prepared the way generations have known them.

More than tasting different foods, you’ll discover how Cusco’s ingredients, traditions, and history helped shape one of the world’s most distinctive food cultures.

And because your guide knows the people and stories behind the stops, each tasting feels less like a transaction and more like a genuine encounter.

"I'd already done the main sites in Cusco — Sacsayhuamán, the main plaza, the usual. This was the part of the city I wouldn't have found on my own. Our guide took us to stalls where the food is made the same way it's been made for decades, explained the Andean ingredients I'd been seeing but not understanding, and let the stops breathe instead of rushing us. By the end I'd eaten well, learned something real, and seen a version of Cusco that felt like it actually belonged to the people who live there..."

...It was the best meal I had in Peru, and it cost less than a restaurant appetizer.
