Our culinary tour consists of an evening exploring the streets of Cusco in order to try some of the city’s best street eats from strategically chosen points as well as visiting one of the city’s top restaurant located in the historic center alongside our chef that will guide us and share with us untold and sometimes unusual stories of both the streets and locales we visit.

Our favorite tour of the trip. We learned about a few different Piscos as well as some great traditional meals. Anticuchos and picarrones were the best part!

Chef José Luis of Uchu restaurant met me at my hotel to take me on an awesome culinary journey through Peruvian food and culture. He prepared some delicious bites for me in the form of Cuy (guinea pig) prosciutto on one of the nearly 4000 varieties of potatoes, and an alpaca sausage with twice prepared potatoes to dip in a yellow sweet pepper sauce that I’m still thinking about over a week later….all washed down with a Chilcano (using Pisco) laced with my favorite fruit….passion fruit purée. It was an awesome start! We proceeded next door to Uchu to try an amazing ceviche and papas rellenas, mashed potatoes stuffed with peppers that were also flavor bombs! We then walked the streets of Cusco trying the street food hawkers wares (sweet tamales….Wow! & Picarones best described as a Peruvian donut made from (yet another) sweet potato variety and squash blossoms all doused in sugar cane syrup). How amazing those were!! The best part of the experience though was knowing that my financial contribution to this experience would benefit human awareness globally to combat ongoing pollution, illegal logging and other environmental issues in Peru that threaten the Amazon cloud forest which makes up nearly 40% of Peruvian territory and protects hundreds of species of birds specific to only certain areas in Peru. On top of tasting Peru in a few hours time I felt really good about doing my part to make sure my experience can be shared with many others after me.

I really enjoyed this culinary tour with Christina. Her knowledge of Peruvian food stems from her background as a chef. I enjoyed the history behind each dish as well. I was completely full, and a little happier with some pisco sour, by the 3rd stop, and had to make room for 2 more tastings!

Excellent food and drink pairings. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the food and culture of Peru and Cusco. She accommodated our needs as we were suffering from the altitude and recommended a great herbal remedy which helped. Despite our feeling slightly ill, we had a fantastic time.
