Detailed Itinerary

This experience gives us the emotion and pleasure of trying the delicious Peruvian gastronomy, which in turn has a particular history that is:

Peruvian Pisco: Peruvian pisco is made from a select variety of grapes called pisco grapes that are grown in certain cities on the Peruvian coast such as: Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna. This liquor delicacy caused a dispute to be generated between Peru and Chile for the property of origin, however its elaboration is different. Its origin dates back to the arrival of the Spaniards on the Peruvian coast in the 16th century, accidentally produced from grapes that were not used for wine production. In the most important varieties of Pisco we have: Pisco Puro, Pisco Acholado, Pisco Mosto Verde, Pisco Aromatico. Of these varieties, the favorites for the elaboration of the Pisco Sour are the Pisco Puro and the Pisco Acholado for the essence that it has allowing this cocktail to be so recognized and delicious.
Ceviche: Nowadays it is known as the flagship dish of Peru for its exquisiteness and its particular flavor. It is not known exactly what the beginnings of the ceviche were, but it is believed that many of the cultures that inhabited the Peruvian coast, such as the Mochica culture, prepared a dish based on fresh fish, which was combined with the juice of a fruit called Tumbo; Over time, the Incas adapted it for themselves by combining fish with chicha and it was until the arrival of the Spaniards that the ingredients that we know today in ceviche were added: lemon and onion.
