About this experience
Most gastronomic tours in Lima take you to restaurants. This one takes you where the real lime trees eat.
Enter Magdalena Market — a popular neighborhood market, far from the tourist circuit — and spend 2.5 hours eating as a local in one of Lima’s most authentic corners.
What makes this tour different?
Your guide was born and raised in Lima. It will take you straight to the stalls where neighbors queue early, introduce you to vendors by name, and tell you the story behind each dish — from the fish sandwich that has been served the same for decades, to the lady’s ceviche that she learned from her grandmother.
Then comes the unexpected part.
Hop on a tuk-tuk and arrive at Casa Taste Peru, a traditional family home that opens its doors exclusively to our visitors. There, your host teaches you how to prepare a pisco sour from scratch while telling you the story and ritual behind Peru’s national drink.
