In the heart of Lima, there are two places where history, culture, and flavour come together on every corner: the Central Market and Lima\u2019s Chinatown<\/strong>. This free culinary walking tour invites you to explore both<\/strong>, guided by a local expert who\u2019s passionate about Peruvian cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Central Market is a true temple of local flavour<\/strong>. Here, you\u2019ll stroll past stalls overflowing with tropical fruits, native potatoes, brightly coloured chillies, and Andean medicinal herbs. Fancy tasting exotic fruits<\/strong> from the most remote corners of Peru? Or maybe a refreshing glass of chicha morada or a portion of the traditional arroz zambito? The choice is entirely yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we head over to Chinatown, one of the oldest and most unique in Latin America. You\u2019ll discover how Chinese migration<\/strong> influenced Peruvian food, giving birth to the famous chifa cuisine<\/strong> \u2014 a mouth-watering fusion of local ingredients and Chinese techniques. We\u2019ll wander down the legendary Calle Cap\u00f3n<\/strong>, filled with lanterns, colourful shopfronts, and the irresistible aromas of soy sauce, ginger, and the five Chinese spices<\/strong>: Sichuan pepper, star anise, clove, fennel, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this tour isn\u2019t just about eating \u2014 it\u2019s about understanding Lima through its most authentic flavours<\/strong>. You\u2019re not obliged to try everything, but your guide will offer suggestions that are very hard to resist<\/strong>. Every bite is a little taste of Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, we finish the experience with a toast of pisco sour<\/strong>, the iconic cocktail that captures the joy and flavour of Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
