What you will be doing

Your guide will take you to a variety of places filled with locals, which will allow you to connect with the authentic way of stimulating your tastebuds in this part of the Peruvian capital.

Food tasting

While strolling through the history-rich streets of Centro de Lima, you will have the opportunity to taste typical street food and visit popular history-filled eateries among locals.
