Itinerary

Stop 1

We will meet in the city center at the Gran Hotel Bolívar, Jirón de la Unión 958, and from there we will depart for the famous Central Market. It's a 15-minute walk.

Stop 2

Before entering the famous Central Market, we will stop to enjoy the renowned "4 Colors" platter. This is a combination of Peruvian dishes: ceviche, Peruvian red spaghetti, chanfainita (a stew), and others. Of course, it will be accompanied by a refreshing glass of chicha morada (a drink made from purple corn).

Stop 3

We will visit the Central Market and together we will tour some stalls where we will taste some exotic Peruvian fruits and a refreshing juice made from one of them.

Stop 4

We will then enter the small world of Chinatown. Here we will visit a famous stall, well-known to siu mai lovers; a Chinese appetizer.

Stop 5

We will explore the area outside the Central Market and sample famous dishes: anticuchos (grilled meat skewers), pata con huavo (pork feet with egg), choclo con queso (corn with cheese), mazamorra morada (purple corn pudding), and others.

Stop 6

Our tour will culminate around the Plaza de Armas, where we'll try our last snack of the day: the famous Peruvian churro (a crispy fried dough pastry, coated in sugar and often served with chocolate or caramel sauce).
