Explore Surquillo Market, taste 35 Peruvian fruits, and cook a four-course meal with a Pisco Sour in this hands-on Lima class.

“Delicious and amazing! The market tour is great. Really fun to try all the different fruit and potatoes that Peru has to offer. They prepare small portions of each so you don't entirely fill up before you start the cooking portion of the class. The food was surprisingly simple to cook, but when you have an amazing staff it all seems to go so smoothly, right? Highly recommend this experience, great way to learn about local dishes.”
