Discover Lima through an experience that combines history, colonial heritage, and participatory gastronomy. Unlike traditional tours, this tour doesn't end with a simple tourist visit: it invites you to become the protagonist of two of the most representative culinary traditions of Peru.
You will start by exploring the Historic Center of Lima on foot, from Plaza San Martín to Plaza Mayor, touring the emblematic Jirón de la Unión and admiring the exteriors of its main colonial palaces. Furthermore, you will visit the historic Convent of Santo Domingo, known for its architecture and cultural legacy.
The real special touch comes at the end of the tour: you will participate in two practical classes where you will learn to prepare your own Peruvian ceviche and the traditional Pisco Sour, accompanied by instructors who will share their techniques and secrets.
