Walk Through Historic Lima and Taste Peruvian Flavours

  • Meet your tour guide at "Terrua" coffee shop, where the team will share their great passion for Peruvian coffee. This small tasting is recommended for everybody.

  • Proceed to the city centre using the "Metropolitano" and experience Lima's public transportation.

  • Once in the city centre, the walk will begin around "Mercado Central". Here, you can try a smoothie made with "Lucuma", another Andean superfood that you are going to love. Some other exotic fruits are also sure to catch your attention, so you can try them too.

  • Next to Mercado Central is Chinatown, where you can stop to try different bites of Peruvian-Chinese gastronomy.

  • Discover Congress Palace. On the way, there is also the chance to eat some street meat and potatoes if you want to try them, and you will do it like a Peruvian.

  • Finish the walk around San Francisco Church to try some "churros" and a traditional Pisco Sour at Cordano Tavern, one of the most traditional places around Government Palace and more than 100 years old.

  • Before going back to Miraflores, there will be time to take pictures at Lima's "Plaza Mayor" and enjoy the architecture of the Cathedral and Government Palace.
