Tour description

Step inside a real Limeño home and unlock the flavors that made Peru a world culinary capital.

In this all-inclusive, 4-hour class, you’ll roll up your sleeves to prepare Peru’s national treasures, from zesty ceviche and layered causa limeña to sizzling anticuchos and velvety ají de gallina.

Guided by a local instructor, you’ll not only learn recipes but also the stories and traditions behind each bite. Feel the citrus tang of fresh-caught fish, smell the smoky skewers on the grill, and taste the sweet finale of suspiro a la limeña.

No studio, no staged demo, this happens in the warmth of a Peruvian home, where cooking and eating are part of daily life.

Groups are small (max 8), ensuring personal guidance, laughter, and plenty of chances to ask questions.

Your finale? Shaking up a frothy Pisco Sour to toast your creations.

Guests call it the highlight of their Lima trip, but spots fill quickly, so secure yours today.

"I was surprised by how approachable everything was. Ceviche and pisco sour always seemed complicated, but they broke each step down in a way that made sense. We tasted as we went, adjusted lime and salt, and clinked glasses more than once while learning..."

...I left with recipes I actually feel confident repeating at home — and a signature drink I’m already claiming as “my” cocktail.
