Pick up & Drop off
1. Local market in Surquillo:
Our adventure begins at a vibrant and friendly local market in the Surquillo District. Get ready to taste a variety of exotic fruits sourced from every corner of the country, including the Pacific coast, the Amazon rainforest, and the Andes mountains.
Of course, we cannot leave the market without savoring Lima’s most iconic dish: Ceviche. On this tour, you will experience a unique version: Ceviche with Cushuro. Known as “Andean caviar,” Cushuro is a nutrient-rich algae found in high-altitude Andean lakes and was considered a sacred delicacy by our ancestors.
To top it off, we will enjoy a delicious Causa Rellena, a classic dish made from silky yellow mashed potatoes and filled with fresh vegetables and shredded chicken.
With a wide variety of flavors—including steak, seafood, poultry, and excellent vegan and vegetarian options—there is truly something for everyone. You have no excuse to miss this gastronomic experience!
2. Local Market in Surco:
After tasting different samples of food in the earlier market, we arrive at Santiago de Surco Market. Its reputation is well-known among people that have a great interest in rainforest food and fresh exotic fruit juices. So, this will be a good opportunity to try a delicious “Juane” or “Chaufa de Cecina”, typical dishes from the jungle prepared with authentic and organic ingredients from the Amazon.
Get ready to have one of the most amazing experience, full of surprises, trying the flavors of Peru along the time and listening to the history behind the different dishes we try along the tour.
3. Vineyard Ugarelli:
The Ugarelli vineyard is also located in Surco, one of the few that still maintains its customs, traditions and cultural fervor.
Ugarelli is dedicated to the production of young dry, semi-dry and sweet wines. On the other hand, the production of Pisco and Macerated wines is almost an obligation for a Peruvian winery
During the visit, you’ll have the opportunity to taste a variety of flavors that reflect the richness and passion of this artisanal winemaking tradition.
