Local Markets

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.

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!
