Hotels & Meals

In Peru, each region has its own flavours and flairs when it comes to cooking. At any stage during your travel you will be able to try out something new. And it's a big country, so there’s a big choice !!! Tomatoes, potatoes, corn and red peppers are the main ingredients of the Peruvian cuisine!

Typical dishes are ceviche (raw fish marinated in lime juice), aji de gallina (chicken, processed yellow chili sauce) and recotto relleno (chilli peppers stuffed with meat, potatoes and eggs). Do not be surprised if you are served guinea pig, cuy in Peruvian. This is a very popular dish among locals and highly recommended!

Make sure to try Peru’s national drink, Pisco Sour. This cocktail is made with lime, sugar, water and egg white and is a true delight, for the alcohol lovers amongst you!
